Viruses, although not considered to be alive, attack host cells and cause disease. The attack of a host cell is necessary for th

e virus to survive for all of the reasons listed EXCEPT one. That is
A) they cannot synthesize proteins because they lack ribosomes and must use the ribosomes of their host cells to translate viral messenger RNA into new proteins.
B) they cannot produce or store energy in the form of ATP and have to get their energy from the host cell.
C) they parasitize the host cell for basic molecules like amino acids, nucleotides, and lipids.
D) they lack DNA so they must use the DNA of the host cell

Answer:

D) they lack DNA so they must use the DNA of the host cell

Explanation:

All but they lack DNA/RNA so they must use the DNA of the host cell. Viruses do contain DNA or RNA, which they inject into the host cells. Viral RNA is used to produce viral proteins from the organelles and molecules in the host cell.

What is the difference between compact and trabecular bone
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Explanation:

Spongy bone is also called cancellous or trabecular bone. It is found in the long bones and it is surrounded by compact bone. ... Trabeculae are spaces created in the tissue by thin areas of osteoblast cells. As a result, trabecular bone has about 10 times the surface area of compact bone.

A expresses dna that has been derived from another species. 2. dna that has been altered to contain genes, or portions of genes,
OlgaM077 [116]
1. A transgenic organism expresses DNA that has been derived from another species. These organisms have altered genomes and are generated in the laboratory for the purposes of research, for example, the "knock-out" mice are tansgenic mice with a particular gene of interest disabled. 
2. Recombinant DNA is the DNA that has been altered to contain genes, or portions of genes, from different organisms. The DNA molecules are formed in the lab using recombination methods to bring together genetic material from multiple sources and therefore creating sequences that are not found in the genome. 
3. Restriction enzymes are found naturally in bacteria and they cut DNA at specific nucleotide sequences. These enzymes are also called restriction endonucleases, they cleave DNA into fragments at or near specific recognition sites called restriction sites. They are found in bacteria and archaea and they serve to provide a defense mechanism against invading viruses.
4. Biotechnology is the use or alteration of organisms, cells, or biological molecules to produce food, drugs, or other goods. Living systems and organisms are used to make or develop products. Biotechnology enhances cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and product for the purposes of improving life and health. 
5. Polymerase chain reaction is a technique that is used to quickly synthesize billions of copiies of a specific segment of DNA.  It is a quick and a very efficient way to generate many copies of DNA.  The process is applicable when there are small quantities of DNA to analyze. The events of PCR involves; separation of DNA strands, addition of primers, use of DNA polymerase to produce second strand of DNA. 
6. In the process known as transformation, bacteria take up pieces of DNA from the surroundings. Bacterial transformation results from the uptake of naked DNA (DNA without associated cells or proteins). Transformation may also occur naturally in some species of bacteria.
