Answer:

B) Viruses are killing some of his B cells and becoming incorporated into the genomes of others.

Explanation:

Epstein-Barr virus causes infectious mononucleosis by following mechanism.

1) Epstein-Barr virus attaches to and infects epithelium of the throat where it replicates and causes pharyngitis.

2) Virions enter the lymphoid vessels and are carried to the lymph nodes. Some virions escape the lymphnode trap and are carried to the bloodstream.

3) Virions attach specifically to B lymphocytes and infect them, producing either latent infection or productive infection.

4)The infected B lymphocytes actively replicate and differentiate into cells producing random immunoglobulins.

5)T cells respond to infection and destroy the lymphocytes replicating EBV vitus.

6) Latently infected B lymphocytes become immortal. They are not attacked by T cells.

Cell division only happens during reproduction true or false
Ahat [919]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

When cells divide, they make new cells. A single cell divides to make two cells and these two cells then divide to make four cells, and so on. We call this process "cell division" and "cell reproduction," because new cells are formed when old cells divide

Which of the following is not recycled once it passes from producer to consumer to decomposer
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: Energy is not recycled once it passes from producer to consumer to decomposer.

The energy flow in an ecosystem in the form of food from one organism to other is food chain. It comprises mainly of three types of organisms producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs and decomposers. The energy flow in food chain or food web is unidirectional from plants which are the primary producers to primary consumers or herbivores, then to secondary consumers or carnivores and finally to the decomposers. On its unidirectional flow the energy is lost in different form such as heat loss, decay, respiration etc. The energy passed from one level to another is not the same and gets lost in the process so when the energy is received from one tropic level to another it is always less than that received by the previous tropic level.
