Answer:

1-Viruses also lack the properties of living things: They have no energy metabolism, they do not grow, they produce no waste products, and they do not respond to stimuli.

2-They also don't reproduce independently but must replicate by invading living cells.

Viruses are considered non living since they are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy.

The model shows a cellular process that occurs in every cell in eukaryotic organisms.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - create polypeptide and eventually proteins for gene expression.

Explanation:

This model is representing the translation process in protein synthesis which takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and results in forming proteins from the information carried by mRNA from DNA in a code. The translation is the process that translates the code, carried out by mRNA with help of ribosome and tRNA, into a chain of amino acids called polypeptide chain that forms eventually in protein.

1. mRNA strand and ribosome present of ER translate codes into a protein.

2. Amino acids are transferred by the tRNA molecules to the ribosomes.

3. mRNA and tRNA bases are paired and amino acids are left behind to create polypeptide.

Penguins are white from the front and black on the back. When they are swimming, they are at risk from predators both above and

kolbaska11 [484]

When an animal has a feature that helps them to disguise, in this case specifically making the animal blend into the surroundings, this is called a camouflage. A camouflage is a result of a process by which, under the pressure of natural selection, a feature gets prevalent in a species in order to make this species more fitted to the environment. In this case, the penguins are safer in their environment with this feature. This process is called adaptation, and this is a camouflage adaptation.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. adaptation.
