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 Great Electron Chase: Describe the flow of electrons from rain falling on your strawberry garden into the strawberry plant (
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

As the rain water is absorbed by the strawberry roots to the leaves, the first step of light independent stage of photosynthesis; Photolysis takes place.

                               H20 = 2H+ + 2e + 2O2.

Generally, the chlorophyll is made up of primary and accessory pigments in its photosystems I and II. These photosystems emitted their electrons through photo activation; these are picked up by electron acceptors; for photophosphorylation in ATPs synthesis. Therefore, these photosystems are positively charged. Hence, PI takes electrons from P II (since it is Cyclic photophosphorylation).Thus P1 is now stabilized, why PII is unstable. To regain its stability, it replaces its lost electrons from the electron of photolysis of water above. This is the electron from the rain water on the (stored in chlorophyll) strawberry. The electron from PI combines with H+and picked up by NAD to NADH. (2H+2e+NADP= NADH).

When the strawberry is consumed, it undergoes digestion and its cellulose metabolized to glucose (the electrons are trapped in the elements C,H,O in the glucose) which flows into the blood stream. As the individual undergoes cellular respiration the glucose with its electrons are the substrate. The glucose, undergoes substrate level phosphorylation (Glycolysis).These electrons are transferred from glucose to the new elements in pyruvate as glucose moves from one stage to another. The electrons are also transferred as part of  H picked up by NAD to NADH. They are transferred from pyruvate to Acetyl, as the latter forms Acetyl Co A with coenzyme A.  

The Acetyl CoA, enters the Krebs’s Cycle, and as, moves from one step to another, these electrons are transferred from one intermediate to another. They are eventually transferred by NADH, FADH2 into the matrix of the mitochondria, where they splits from hydrogen atoms, and carried by electron carriers. As they move from one carries to another, PMF is generated which pumps the H+ across into the inner membranes, to generate the electrochemical gradients for ATPs synthesis, as the protons returns to the matrix.

When these electrons reached the end of the carrier molecule, they are accepted by oxygen the final electron acceptor, to form water. These electrons is transported as water, to the kidney where they are pass through the stages of glomerular filtration, reabsorption, secretion before they are emptied in urine as waste.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Len [333]
<span>The trick here is to understand the definition of each of the cellular transport or function mechanisms listed. These are some interesting (and strange) analogies!

Facilitated Diffusion
This is when a mechanism assists in diffusing (spreading) some material into an environment. The dog on the wagon going through a spring loaded door would shoot it out into the environment. This is an odd analogy but Point 3 would be the one.

Active Transport 
Is when energy is expended to transport molecules somewhere against a concentration gradient or some other barrier. Examples include transporting molecules across a cell wall. The best analogy is the dog being dragged into a bathtub (Point 1).

Phagocytosis 
This is when a larger cell consumes a molecule often like eating. This matches to point 2 - the child eating the doughnut.

Passive Diffusion
Is when a concentration of molecules naturally diffuse into an environment. This suits point 5 - the crowded room full of people.

Pinocytosis
Is the budding of cell membranes to consume liquid in the surrounding environment. I guess a woman drinking tea is the closest analogy listed (Point 4).</span>

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Heart disease is a non communicable disease because it does not happen due to any virus or bacteria.

Explanation:

Diseases caused due to virus and bacteria are mostly communicable. Heart Disease is caused due to poor supply of nutrients in hearts.
