Answer:
a. the virus must be able to cross-link red blood cells directly.
Explanation:
Viral hemagglutination assay is a method which is used for the quantification of the relative concentration of the viruses.
The principle on which the hemagglutination assay works is as follows:
- There are sialic acid receptors present on the surface of the red blood cells which will bind to the haemagglutinin glycoprotein present on the surface of the viral particle.
- Due to the binding of the sialic acid receptors with haemagglutinin particle there will be cross-linking of the red blood cells by the viral particles and a lattice formation will take place.
- The lattice will remain suspended in the solution however if the concentration of the virus particles will be less, the lattice will settle down in the well.
Thus, this method allows knowing the relative concentration of the virus.
<em>Due to its basic principle of cross-linking this method works well for only a few viruses such as influenza virus. </em>
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
At room temperature, exposed elemental mercury can evaporate to become an invisible, odorless toxic vapor. ... Elemental mercury is an element that has not reacted with another substance.

Answer:
a, b, d, and f.
Explanation:
<em>The periwinkle snails feed on plants. Consequently, they are said to herbivorous and heterotrophic since they cannot manufacture their own foods. They are also referred to as primary consumers because they directly feed on plants without any other nutritional option. They, therefore, occupy the second trophic level on a typical food web. </em>
The correct options are a, b, d, and f.
Hydrogen as in hydrocarbons
nitrogen as in cyanides
sulphur as in carbon di sulphides
oxygen as in combustion of carbon
the rest i left out needs a third party element to bond to carbon
