Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf The \ sun }}$

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a special process that certain organisms (plants, algae, and some bacteria) undergo to create "food".

This turns light energy, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. The glucose becomes the food for the organism, because it is turned into ATP during cellular respiration. The ATP is energy that fuels the processes, like growth, repair, and transport.

This process occurs because of the <u>sun</u>. It provides the light energy needed for the reaction. Organelles inside of the cells, called chloroplasts, contain a pigment (chlorophyll) that captures this energy.

Viral DNA makes mRNA by the process of _____. Viral DNA makes mRNA by the process of _____. replication infection translation ly

Pachacha [2.7K]

<h2>The correct answer is: Transcription.</h2>

Explanation:

Viruses do not possess any machinery necessary for the purpose of their reproduction.
They only possess their genetic material enclosed within a capsid structure.
The capsid is constituted of glycoproteins.
They completely depend upon the components and organelles of the host cells whom they infect to help them carry out their reproduction process.
After infecting a host cell, the viruses hijack all the machinery and components of the host cell and use them for the purpose of transcribing their genetic material (DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid) to produce the virus-specific mRNAs (messenger Ribonucleic Acid).
These mRNAs are further translated into virus-specific proteins using the host-specific Ribosomes. These virus-specific proteins are required for replicating the viral genetic material and producing the capsid structure.
The virus-specific proteins and glycoproteins are synthesized by utilizing the raw materials from the host cells.
Transcription is the process by which an enzyme called RNA polymerase or DNA dependent RNA polymerase copies the protein coding region of the DNA (gene) in the form of an RNA sequence (mRNA).
The synthesis of the mRNA happens in the 5' to 3' direction. This mRNA is further recognized and converted into the amino acid sequence with the help of the Ribosome.
The amino acid sequence folds to give rise to the protein.

What happens to something that is hydrophilic in water

QveST [7]

Hydrophilic means that it likes water so it will easily break down in water

hydrophobic will do the opposite and repel water

Kitty [74]

The answer is B) can start in many different places in a sequence at the same time.
These different places are called Origin of replication. :)))
