Biology
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

b. They cannot reproduce outside of a host cell.

Explanation:

Viruses are <em>parasitic organisms</em> that need a<em> host</em> in order to<u> thrive</u> and <u>reproduce</u>. This means that they cannot replicate outside of a host cell, but can only do this by parasitizing it. They have to find a host cell in order to continue their life-cycle or else they won't thrive. The word "obligate" means <em>being restricted to a specific mode or function in life</em>. This shows that the virus has a restriction when it comes to <u><em>reproduction.</em></u> It cannot reproduce without finding a host cell.

Can someone explain the Carbon Cycle? Include all the steps and how it works. Please keep it short. Will give brainiest
schepotkina [342]

Carbon enters the atmosphere through either respiration/decay or the burning of fossil fuels. Plants take in the carbon in order to make food. From here, animals can eat the plant which transfers the carbon to them. For example, a cow eats grass. The carbon will be trapped inside the cow until it dies. When the cow has passed, decomposers will release the carbon through respiration. The carbon then restarts back in the atmosphere.

That is not the only path the carbon could take. If the plant dies before an animal consumes it, the carbon is released when the plant decays.
