Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is C) Prions</em></u>

Explanation:

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)  or Mad Cow Disease  is a disease which occurs due to transmissible particles known as prions. Prions cannot be considered as living organisms as they do not acquire many of the living characteristics. They are just considered as a protein which gest converted into an activated, toxic form  as soon as they encounter a host cell. This toxic protein harms the central nervous system (CNS) of the cow host and is transmissible.

fomenos

Answer:

coevolution

Explanation:

Coevolution refers to the process where two or more species modify each other's evolution via natural selection. Darwin mentioned how insects and flowering plants could coevolve by reciprocal evolutionary modifications. Coevolution has firstly been associated with mutualism between species including, for example, birds and flowering plants. However, coevolution may also involve host-parasite relationships, such as associations involving parasitic organisms and their sexually reproducing hosts. Finally, there are situations where coevolution involves both parasitism and mutualism (i.e., antagonistic coevolution).

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Sodium and potassium ions are essential for muscle contractions of the heart
____ [38]

Answer:

1) By breaking of ATP to ADP

2) The sodium and potassium ions are transported using active transport process!

Explanation:

In cell, the movement of ions across the membrane at the expense of energy is known as Active Transport. The energy is used in the form of ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate) that gets converted to ADP(Adenosine diphosphate) during transport. It takes the ions from high concentration to low concentration. ADP contains one less phosphate group that ATP, as their name indicates and plays a prime role in the flow of energy to the cells.

A group of scientists is studying the internal parts of a cell. Which microscope is most appropriate for these scientists to use
Lady bird [3.3K]
The most appropriate microscope for studying the internal parts of the cell is ELECTRON MICROSCOPE. The correct option is B.
Electron microscope, which is a compound microscope is usually used to study the internal environment  of the cell because of the easiness with which one can easily distinguish the cell organelles from one another. Electron microscope gives great clarification of the cellular components and allow scientists to observe minute details about cellular structures. Electron microscope usually magnify specimens to one million times of their real sizes.
