Biology

Since viruses are nonliving, they will need a host in order to take over and spread. Thus, viruses need help in order to reproduce. However on the other hand, Prions are also NON-living but they do not reproduce, they are protein that are not folded properly and continue to create those badly folded proteins to alter the cell.

What is the full form of tree​
Rudik [331]

Explanation:

A tree or large tree is called a long-standing woody plant. In botany, the tree is one of the most durable plants that maintains its leaves by growing a stem or trunk. In some definitions, the use of the tree is such that it is the only woody plant. It is the only plant from which wood is obtained. It is not possible to determine the exact height of the trees, but overall the adult trees reach at least 6 meters [citation needed]. In the structure of the tree there are usually branches that are attached to a large trunk. Compared to other plant and animal species, trees have a long life. Some species of trees are more than 100 meters tall, and some live for thousands of years. Trees are important elements of natural landscape, gardening and landscaping. [1]

All macromolecules are made mostly of the same six elements. What are<br> those six elements?
jekas [21]

Answer:

Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur.

Explanation:

Macromolecules such as carbohydrates or lipids are made of a selection of these six elements. Carbohydrates are made out of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen--or "CHO" for short. Lipids are made out of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen as well. Proteins are made out of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur (CHONs, the s is lowercase because sulfur does not usually appear in proteins). Nucleic acids are made out of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous (CHONP).

Hope this helps!
