The control of virus infection is complicated compared to bacteria since the virus   either enters into the host cells or used the host cell components to create new cells that is released to affect new cells. Hence it has been a challenge to isolate the virus particle and affect them with chemical components without causing damages to the host cells.

Hence antivirals are drugs that are designed to inhibit their activity. They will block the activity of the virus from entering the cells and make them into host. Hence D is the right option

The two systems that work together to cause this reaction are the endocrine system that secretes the hormone and the
Simora [160]

Two control systems of the body

Endocrine and Nervous

Endocrine and nervous system similarities

-Work together to maintain homeostasis

-Release ligands (chemical messengers) that bind to cellular receptors on particular target cells

Endocrine and nervous system differences

Endocrine system: -Transmits hormones through blood

-Targets any cell in the body with the correct receptor

-Very widespread

-Exhibits longer reaction times and has longer-lasting effects

Endocrine System

-Composed of ducts and glands that synthesize and secrete hormones

-Hormones are released into the blood and transported throughout the body

Endocrine system regulation growth and development

-Changes measured from birth to puberty

-Hormones help regulate embryonic cell division and differentiation

-Hormones regulate metabolism

How does the endocrine system maintain homeostasis or blood composition and volume

-Hypothalamus

-Hormones regulate blood solute concentrations (ex glucose ions)

-Hormones regulate blood volume, cellular concentration, and platelet numbers

The endocrine system controlling digestive processes

-Trigger digestion when food is in the stomach

-Hormones influence secretory processes and movement of materials in the digestive tract

Endocrine System controlling Reproductive Activities

-Make sure sperm and egg make it to each other

-Hormones affect the development and function of the reproductive system and the expression of sexual behavior

Endocrine Glands

Contain epithelial tissue that makes and releases hormones within a connective tissue framework

Endocrine Organs

-Glands with solely endocrine functions

-Ex: Pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal

Endocrine Cells

-Found in clusters in organs with another function

-Examples in Hypothalamus, Thymus, Heart, Stomach, Liver, Pancreas, Small Intestine, Adipose Connective Tissue

-Pancreases is not an endocrine gland, but it does release hormones

Select the correct answer from the drop down menu. Enzymes break down large molecules. In an experiment, a scientist adds lipase
Natalka [10]

Answer:

There are no options to this question, however, it can be answered. The answers to the blank spaces are:

1. Fatty Acids

2. A decrease in the rate of lipid breakdown

Explanation:

Lipids are large biomolecules that are formed from monomeric units called FATTY ACIDS. Digestive enzymes such as lipase as described in this question breaks down lipids into its monomer called FATTY ACIDS.

However, enzymes are proteinous molecules, meaning they are subject to denaturation when exposed to adverse conditions such as heat. According to this question, the scientist heats the enzymes and finds that it can't bind onto the lipids anymore because it has been DENATURED. This situation will result in the DECREASE IN THE RATE OF LIPID BREAKDOWN because the enzyme in charge is no longer functional.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Earth's atmosphere filters out harmful radiation from the sun.

Explanation:

The sun is earth's star and sunlight helps light up and warm the earth and also helps in the process of photosynthesis. Sunlight on the other hand, produces harmful rays called Ultraviolet radiation or UV rays.

These ultraviolet radiation is dangerous to our skin and ultimately our body as a whole. Fortunately for us, the earth's atmosphere has a protective layer called the Ozone layer. The Ozone layer serves to filter out and block the harmful ultraviolet radiation and prevent it from reaching the earth, thereby protecting us.

Sadly though, the Ozone layer is getting depleted by human activities which emit harmful gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Activities such as oil drilling, automobile emissions, destruction of forests etc. These activities affect the Ozone layer leading to it's gradual disappearance and letting in the harmful UV rays. A phenomenon referred to as global warming.
