Which characteristic of viruses prevents them from being used as evidence to support cell theory?

Biology
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Viruses replicate only inside host cells.

Explanation:

<u>Viruses are not used as evidence to support the cell theory because they are not considered a cell and cannot carry out vital life processes without getting into host cells. </u>

According to the cell theory, the cell is the basic unit of life, all living organisms are made up of cells and cells arose from preexisting cells. A virus that is not in a host cell is just a piece of DNA/RNA surrounded by a protein coat and is not capable of carrying out any life process for it to be considered living.

<em>Viruses are only able to reproduce and multiply when they get access to a living host. They use the genetic mechanisms of the host to replicate their DNA/RNA using the lytic or lysogenic cycle. Hence, they are not used to support the cell theory. </em>

Compare and contrast three metabolic pathways by choosing whether the statement applies to aerobic respiration. Check all that a
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be options

1. Process includes glycolysis.

2. Between 2 and 38 ATP are produced per molecule of glucose input .

3. Much or most of the ATP produced is produced by oxidative phosphorylation.

4. Process involves electron transport and chemiosmosis.

5.  End products are CO₂ and H₂O.

6. Process involves the Krebs cycle.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the oxidative process which involves the breakdown of food molecules like glucose, amino acids and fats to release heat and energy in the form of ATP.

In the presence of oxygen or aerobic respiration it undergoes four stages: glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain while in the anaerobic reaction it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide by the process of fermentation.

Each stage produces energy in the form of ATP molecules or co-enzymes NADH OR FADH₂ like glycolysis produces 2 ATP and link reaction, Krebs cycle produces NADH OR FADH₂ in addition to ATP. Each NADH produces 3 ATP while Each FADH₂ produces 2 ATP during electron transport chain.  So, ATP molecules are produced between 2 to 38 ATP molecules in each stage with large number during electron transport chain from these co-enzymes.

The waste products produced in the stages of cellular respiration are CO₂ molecules and H₂O which is also known as metabolic water.
