Tamiflu is a common medication given for influenza treatment, its action being to protect and block sialic acid molecules on the
surfaces of host cells and influenza virus envelopes as they leave the cell. Which statement reflects the mechanism of Tamiflu's action? A. Tamiflu blocks protein synthesis of the viral genome.
B. Tamiflu interferes with the replication of +ssRNA from the -ssRNA genome of the flu virus.
C.Tamiflu interferes with the release of the budding viruses from the infected host cells.
D. Tamiflu interferes with the metabolic properties of the virus.
Answer: C.Tamiflu interferes with the release of the budding viruses from the infected host cells.
Explanation:
Tamiflu is commonly used as antiviral drugs because it blocks the function of viral neuraminidases of the influenza virus. Neuraminidase is a type of enzime found on the surface of influenza viruses that enables the virus to be released from the host cell. In order to prevent viral infection the NA protein is exploited by Tamilfu which acts as sialic acid analogs and binds to the NA active site. These are called NA inhibitors. Tamiflu disables the NA protein from cleaving sialic acid, leaving the virus trapped and preventing its reproduction by budding from the host cell.
as the human population grows, more people will on be on earth and if those people pollute in the ocean the ocean will get dirtier and unhealthy for the underwater creatures.
An organism that lives inside another is an Imposter (kinda sus ngl), an insect that eats other organisms is either a carnivore or a cannibal (depends on what it eats), a worm that turns things into zombies was probably pulled from Plague Inc.
If it’s two answers then it’s Bacteria and Archaea.
—Evidence— •] Prokaryotic organisms belong either to the domain Archaea or the domain Bacteria; organisms with eukaryotic cells belong to the domain Eukarya.
