The 7 (sometimes 8) characteristics of life are:
1. living things are composed of cells
2. living things have different levels of organization
3. living things metabolize (i.e. use energy)
4. living things respond to their environment
5. living things grow
6. living things reproduce
7. living things adapt to their environment
(some sources include) 8. living things have genetic material
Viruses do not metabolize, they do not grow, they do not adapt to their environment, and they cannot reproduce independently; viruses require host cells to reproduce and perform the other functions that give them the appearance of aliveness.
Answer:
OH, H2O2 and O−2
Explanation:
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can be defined as highly reactive chemical compounds formed from molecular oxygen (O2). ROS are generated as a normal product of cellular metabolism, and also as a response to different environmental/internal cellular stimuli (e.g., cytokines, xenobiotics, pathogenic invasion). For example, hydroxyl radicals (·OH) are a type of ROS generated in the mitochondria which are capable of inducing oxidative stress in different cells and also trigger chronic inflammation. Moreover, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) molecules represent another type of ROS which are produced during the stereoselective deamination of amino acids, i.e., the building blocks of proteins. These molecules (H2O2) exhibit toxic effects on the cell (e.g., DNA damage). Finally, singlet oxygen (1O2) is an excited state of molecular oxygen (O2) that is generated during photosynthesis in the photosystem II (PSII) of chloroplasts.
The left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood throughout the entire body, which requires a lot of work and pressure, hence why it is super thick.
RNA: AUGGUACCUUAAUGA
A=U (in RNA only. T in DNA)
C=G (in both DNA and RNA)
Answer;
Ribosomes;
Explanation;
Ribosomes are organelles that are found inside a cell attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or freely suspended in the cytoplasm.
The are responsible for the process of translation which synthesis proteins in the cell.
Therefore; a pesticide that kills an insect by interfering with
the production of proteins in the insect would
most directly affect the activity of ribosomes.
