Answer:

the proteins on its surface and that of the host

Explanation:

The process of viral infection begins with the entry of the virus to its host cells. For this purpose, viral surface proteins attach to receptor proteins found on target host cells. For example, the coronavirus responsible for the pandemic contains spike (S) proteins on its surface that bind to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors and thus infects host target cells. Moreover, the specificity of the binding determines the ability to infect and the host range of the viruses. In the case of coronavirus, it has been suggested that ACE2 receptors are not fully developed in children, thereby children would be less susceptible to viral infection.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

1Answer:

The correct answer is - D. how changes in biodiversity impact an ecosystem.

Explanation:

The water hyacinth is an invasive plant species that rapidly grows and creates a thick layer over the water surface in almost every aquatic ecosystem. The growth of the layer of this species causes problems to the environment, ecosystem, humans, and other species.

These aquatic plants reduce the oxygen level and other nutrients from the ecosystem it is introduced and affect the biodiversity by increasing heavy metals and contaminants.

The layer of this plant inhibits photosynthesis that decreases sugar and energy production and blocks the boat and ship movements and economically as well.
