<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D.) The speed decreases because at cooler temperatures the water has less mechanical energy.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Sound travels about 1500 meters per second in seawater. The speed of sound in sea water varies depending on factors such as water depth, place to place, morning to evening, etc.
  • The change in the speed sound is associated to the variables in the ocean such as temperature, salinity and the pressure.
  • <em><u>The temperature of ocean water decreases with depth, so as the depth increases the water gets cooler. And since the speed of sound in water increases with increase in water temperature, then an increase in depth would mean a decrease in the speed of the sound.</u></em>

How does the virus use a host cell to make copies of itself
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

I wasn't quite sure what virus you were referring to in your question, but here's a general answer: Viruses use their host cells' machinery to replicate themselves.

If they are a specific type of virus known as a retrovirus, they have the ability to use the host cells' enzymes to change the RNA contained within the virus into DNA (via some type of replication I suppose).

In other cases, if they contain DNA instead of RNA (that is, the virus), they can use the host cell's machinery to create RNA via enzymes involved in transcription and/or they can incorporate that DNA into the host cell's DNA. This is part of a type of viral replication cycle known as the lysogenic cycle.

In another type of viral replication cycle known as the lytic cycle, the virus simply has itself and its genome duplicated until the host cell bursts, releasing the viral material. Here, again, the virus uses the host cell's machinery to replicate itself.
