What description best explains why viruses can become more pathogenic to host that were not affected by the virus before?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

New cells are naive to the infectious cells who attack it or they are not well prepared to deal with the different scenarios. But, the cells who are attacked before has the set or sequence of the viral or bacterial genome strand been identified by them, which leads to more safety or protection from these foreign bodies.

Explanation:

  • Mechanism To attack a host cell:

The viruses and other infectious material enters and attacks the host cell, by breaching its membrane wall and installing or leaving a gene of its own inside the cell. Which then combines with the genome of the cell and it goes through the process of replication, translation etc,along with the host cell machinery. Which then spreads the specific gene strand more in the environment

  • <u>Camouflage obtained by the infectious cell to hide it self:</u>

After the genome enters the host cell at first it does not recognizes the strands or foreign cells, as they cover there body with a camouflage sort of membrane and they look more like the body cells.

  • <u>Reactions by the host cell and as a whole the body:</u>

The organisms detects the genome of the infections cells or strand, as they store the data about it in its server or database. As if the next time they were under attack then precautions will be there by the host cell to deal with it.

As for the cell who are never attacked before will be less safe to deal with these foreign bodies.

This transportation process requires the cell to move particles from low concentration to high concentration. active transport f
ipn [44]

Answer:

During active transport, substances move against the concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. This process is “active” because it requires the use of energy (usually in the form of ATP). It is the opposite of passive transport.

Areas where tectonic plates meet up but do not fit neatly into a category, and are ill-
jeka94

Answer:

Plate boundary zones.

Explanation:

  • Plate boundary zones are the interaction between adjoining plates where they clash, pull separated or slide past each other.
  • These newly created zones can be a long stretch from few kilometers to hundreds of kilometers.
  • It is the movement between two plates and the distortion that come about in the boundaries of the zone between the plates, which has given birth to New Zealand's geography which we see it today.
  • The distortion and mashing caused by the hit of the two great plates have created mountain ranges throughout the country.

In which of the following ways are bacteria similar to birds
pentagon [3]

Answer:

They both use DNA as their genetic material.

Explanation:

Bacteria are simple prokaryotic organisms which lack membrane bound organelles. On the other hand, birds like higher organisms are eukarotyotic organisms with proper membrane bound organelles. Other than this that both bacteria and birds are living organisms,  one way in which bacteria and birds are similar is that they both have DNA as genetic material which they pass to their offspring. Although in the case of bacteria there is no variation is offspring however in case of birds there can be because genetic shuffling takes place and offspring is not an exact replica of parents while in case of bacteria they are.

Hope it helps!

<em>Community and ecosystem levels of organization are the main focus areas of Vitor Becker’s work. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Serra Bonita reserve complex was established by Vitor Becker and his wife Clemira Souza in the Atlantic forest of Brazil.</em> He studied agronomy and forestry and has a Ph.D in entomology.

Becker realized that the Atlantic forests are largely destroyed. After retirement Becker and Souza settled in the <em>Serra Bonita mountain region and using their savings they bought land in the region and converted the area into Serra Bonita reserve complex. </em>
