3 0

Answer: a.The study is funded by a group with a financial interest in the outcome.

Explanation:

Junk science is a term that is used to describe scientific research or data that is false and fraudulent and is usually presented in order for the people behind it to be able to push an agenda or assertion.  

If a study is funded by a group with a financial interest in the outcome, the research could end up being junk science as the backs might persuade the researchers to manipulate the data in such a way that it would favor them.

For instance, a Big Tobacco funded research into lung cancer finding that smoking does not contribute as much as previously thought to lung cancer

Is osmosis and isotonic the same
belka [17]

No. Osmosis is the movement of a solvent through a membrane (semi-permeable) from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution to the point where the two sides reach equilibrium. Isotonic solutions are solutions where the two sides of the membrane are already at equilibrium - so there is no movement of the solvent (like water) - so this is different from osmosis.

Why do viruses only infect specific types of cells?.
AURORKA [14]
No one knows exactly when viruses emerged or from where they came, since viruses do not leave historical footprints such as fossils. Modern viruses are thought to be a mosaic of bits and pieces of nucleic acids picked up from various sources along their respective evolutionary paths. Viruses are acellular, parasitic entities that are not classified within any domain because they are not considered alive. They have no plasma membrane, internal organelles, or metabolic processes, and they do not divide. Instead, they infect a host cell and use the host’s replication processes to produce progeny virus particles. Viruses infect all forms of organisms including bacteria, archaea, fungi, plants, and animals. Living things grow, metabolize, and reproduce. Viruses replicate, but to do so, they are entirely dependent on their host cells. They do not metabolize or grow, but are assembled in their mature form.
Viruses are diverse. They vary in their structure, their replication methods, and in their target hosts or even host cells. While most biological diversity can be understood through evolutionary history, such as how species have adapted to conditions and environments, much about virus origins and evolution remains unknown.
