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.

Which zone is most likely to have insects and very little plant life?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The right answer is D. The benthic zone

Explanation:

The limnetic and the littoral zone  all get a lot of sunlight so there are a lot of plant life. The pelagic zone hosts a variety of plant species so this cannot be the correct answer. That leaves us with the benthic zone.

Benthic meaning inhabiting bottom areas or substrates. Plant life at the bottom is very scarce but there are a lot of insect species.

Why is salivary amylase active for only an hour or so, whereas lingual lipase isn't active until reaching the stomach
leva [86]

Salivary amylase will be active for only an hour or so because the optimum pH for activity of amylase is about 6.7–7.0 which is available in the mouth but the pH of the stomach is acidic around 1-2 due to which the amylase enzyme becomes inactive in short-time.

The lingual lipase enzyme is present in the saliva but isn't active until reaching the stomach because this enzyme is acid stable and works efficiently in the stomach, not in the mouth.

Amylase enzyme is secreted in the mouth and is responsible for the breakdown of starch in food into sugars and it starts acting as soon as we put food in the mouth whereas Lingual lipase enzyme is secreted along with saliva but it is not active in the mouth rather its activity starts in the stomach which is responsible for the degradation of triacylglycerol molecules.

Gary doesn’t like yard work but he notices that the leaves on his lawn are starting to break down. What process is occurring her
Anettt [7]
The process is decomposition.

Decomposition is a process by which organic substances, like leaves, are broken down into simpler matter. A lot of different types of organisms, called the decomposers, will consume the organic substances(like dead plants, dead animals) and continue an essential part of the nutrient cycle. This is important for recycling the organic matter that occupies space in the biosphere.
