Complete question:

The diagram to the right represents the lytic cycle. What is occurring at step C?

The pieces made in replication are assembled to complete the new virus particles.
The virus attaches to the host cell.
The host's DNA is disassembled and the virus takes over the cell's metabolic activity.
The new viral nucleic acid and viral proteins are replicated.
Lysis occurs, killing the cell.

Answer:

4. The new viral nucleic acid and viral proteins are replicated

Explanation:

During the lytic cycle, a host cell is infected by a virus. The infected cell dies by lysis of the cell membrane while the new copies of the virus are being released. The lytic cycle is the principal viral reproductive method and involves the destruction of the infected cells.

The lytic cycle is composed of five steps:

Attachment phase:

Viruses recognize specific receptors in the membrane of the host cells, where they get attached. These receptors are glycoproteins or lipoproteins that join viral elements and hold them on the host surface.

Penetration phase:

Viruses use different mechanisms to penetrate the host cells.

By injection, by perforating the host cell wall and membrane and injecting the genetic material through a hole. The rest of the virus remains outside the cell.
By endocytosis. The virus introduces by complete into the host cell by endocytosis of the membrane. Once inside, the virus breaks the vesicle membrane and gets in contact with the cytoplasm.
By fusing with the membrane
By going through the pores

Biosynthesis phase (replication and synthesis of the viral components)

There are no viral copies yet, but DNA, RNA, and proteins are being produced.

The host cell metabolism is used to synthesize viral elements. Viral nucleic acid uses the host cell nucleotides and RNA polymerase to synthesize mRNA and produce proteins and enzymes to destroy the infected cell DNA.

The viral nucleic acid duplicates and new proteins are produced.

Maturation phase

In this stage occurs the Assembling of the newly synthesized viral components. Many viral copies are formed.

Lysis phase

This is the moment in which the new viral copies get released. They break the host cell membrane by lysis through the action of the endolysin enzyme. Lysis produces the host cell death.

In the exposed diagram you can recognize

A) Attachment phase and penetration by injection phase

B) Biosynthesis phase → destruction of the host DNI. The host cell metabolism is used to synthesize viral elements

C) Biosynthesis phase → Viral components (nucleic acid + proteins) are already replicated.

D) Maturation and Lysis phase

E) Infection of a new host cell by attaching to its membrane

devlian [24]

The answer is Macrophages. White blood cells also the leukocytes are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All white blood cells are produced and derived from multipotent cells in the bone marrow known as the hematopoietic stem cells. Macrophages are important cells of the immune system that are formed in response to an infection or accumulating damaged or dead cells. They are large, specialized cells that recognize, engulf and destroy target cells.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

b. Somatic

Explanation:

The somatic nervous system is one of the divisions of the peripheral nervous system. The somatic nervous system delivers the motor information from the central nervous system to the skeletal muscles only. The skeletal muscles generate the responses which are consciously controlled. Therefore, the somatic nervous system regulates the voluntary movements of the body.

So, the voluntary movements of skeletal muscles such as the movement of limbs during walking, smelling a flower, pedaling, etc. are regulated by the neurons of somatic division.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable

energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell?

Explanation:

Organelles are organ-like structures found in cells. The are responsible for the specific actions carried out by each cell. Each organelle has its own specific role to play. However, missing or damaged organelles can have effects on the cells.

Mitochondria are organelles found in cells of all eukaryotic living organisms e.g animal, plants as they are responsible for the synthesis of energy in form of ATP. Since the cells being investigated in this question is a MUSCLE CELL, which is only found in animals, then an appropriate organelle must be investigated.

The appropriate to be asked to know if muscles cells are functioning properly is: At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell?.

Note that, other options are incorrect because muscle cells do not have chloroplast and cell wall, while ribosomes are not site for glucose production.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

B. The bird will stop flying because it will quickly use up its remaining

energy.

Explanation:

This is because the mitochondria is known as the power house of cells. Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in this organelle and it involves the conversion of ADP to ATP through the hydrogen ions(protons).

When the hydrogen ion channel is blocked, energy production in cells stop.

This is why the bird will stop flying as it would have used up its remaining energy and won’t have a new one to use to continue flying.
