Answer:

The correct answer is "They lack an independent metabolism"

Explanation:

Viruses are usually active/alive in a living environment and become inactive in non-living environment; these is because they rely on the metabolic activities of the invaded living environment/cell. This property is a sharp contrast to normal living cells that are able to metabolize different substances independently using several organelles.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

A pollen tube grows from the pollen grain into the ovary

Explanation:

Water is needed for fertilization in several plant groups because the sperm needs to swim to meet the non-motile eggs of the female organs.

<em>However in angiosperms, the pollen germinates and a structure known as pollen tube which contains the male gametophyte (sperm) grows into the ovary where the ovule is located and the male gametophyte is deposited in the ovule to initiate the fertilization process.</em>

<em>Hence, water is really not necessary for fertilization in the angiosperms.</em>
