Biology

Answer:

Explanation:Many viruses follow several stages to infect host cells. These stages include attachment, penetration, uncoating, biosynthesis, maturation, and release. Bacteriophages have a lytic or lysogenic cycle.

The life cycle of viruses may be divided into the following stages:

1. Attachment

Attachment is a specific binding between viral surface proteins and their receptors on the host cellular surface. This specificity determines the host range of a virus. For instance, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks only human's immune cells (mainly T cells), because its surface protein, gp120, can interact with CD4 and chemokine receptors on the T cell's surface (Figure 1-E-3).

2. Penetration

Following attachment, viruses may enter the host cell through receptor mediated endocytosis or other mechanisms.

3. Uncoating

Uncoating is a process that the viral capsid is degraded by viral enzymes or host enzymes.

4. Replication

Replication involves assembly of viral proteins and genetic materials produced in the host cell.

5. Release

Viruses may escape from the host cell by causing cell rupture (lysis). Enveloped viruses (e.g., HIV) typically "bud" from the host cell. During the budding process, a virus acquires the phospholipid envelope containing the embedded viral glycoproteins.

What three categories of energy expenditure make up the total energy expenditure? Define each briefly. For the average person, h
Ratling [72]

The categories  of energy expenditure include the following:

  • Resting metabolic rate - This is the total number of calories burned when your body is completely at rest and accounts for 60-75 percent
  • Thermic effect of feeding - This happens during feeding in which the metabolic rate increases and heat is produced and accounts for 5-15 percent
  • The thermic effect of activity -  the amount of energy burned during all physical activity and accounts for 15-30 percent.

<h3>What is Energy expenditure?</h3>

These are the processes which involves how energy is used or spent. The categories are mentioned above with their appropriate explanations.

What is the difference between DNA, chromatin, and Chromosomes?
Serhud [2]
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the hereditary material that lies within the nucleus of all cells in humans and other living organisms. Most of the DNA is placed within the nucleus and is called nuclear DNA.

A chromosome is made up of two chromatids which are joined by the centromere. The chromatids separate from each other during mitosis to form two new chromosomes. The DNA making up a chromosome is dispersed as chromatin.

Under a microscope, chromatids look like little dots and chromosomes are lines.
