HIV replication requires conversion of the genomic RNA present in the infecting virus to a double stranded DNA that integrates i

nto a human chromosome. Unlike DNA polymerase, HIV reverse transcriptase catalyzes DNA chain elongation from either a DNA or RNA template. Azidothymidine (AZT) was the first effective drug used to inhibit HIV reverse transcriptase and went into clinical use in 1987 to treat AIDS. What best describes how AZT inhibits reverse transcriptase

Answer:

AZT inhibits reverse transcriptase enzyme.

Explanation:

AZT inhibits reverse transcriptase enzyme that is used by the virus to make a DNA copy of its RNA. This Azidothymidine prevent reverse transcriptase enzyme from doing its function properly. Due to absence of this enzyme, the HIV virus is unable to make copies of its DNA and this Azidothymidine stops the life cycle of the virus and slows the growth of AIDS disease so that's why this drug was considered effective against HIV virus and used in the treatment of AIDS disease.

Which is the MOST accurate description about how green plants and animals get food?
irga5000 [103]

One question is this supposed to be multiple choice?

This probably wont be the MOST accurate but this is the knowledge of a 6th grader (i tried)


Plants get their food from photosynthesising, they get their energy ffrom the sun and the chlorophyll is what capturers the suns energy. And once the suns energy has been caught then the electrons move around almost like they are excited to get the energy from the sun (the way some people get excited after consuming sugar a.k.a getting hyper) And the electrons are "jumping" in the thylakoid membrane. now there is enough energy to drive to the 2nd phase.

ADP becomes ATP that is when it is gaining more phosphate. Then the NADP gets more hydrogen to be able to store the energy now it has the hydrogen so it becomes.....NADPH. That is also kind of phase 3 the Calvin Cycle where G3P goes on to make glucose.


An animal gets energy from consuming the plants or other animals and sometimes even eating their own kind. Animals like deer, rabbits, moneys, pandas they all eat plants and or fruits. Because they get their energy from the plants and as said before that the plants get it from the sun. So basically all kinds of animals depend on the plants but some ocean creature dont really depend on plants but in some ways they do. Because not only for food, but for oxygen.


As you may have noticed i kinda know more about plants but soon i will be learning about animals since we are still learning about eukaryotic organisnisms.


Hope this helps. And have a great day! :)

All variations within organisms can be explained by the known principles of genetics. True or False
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

Genetics is responsible for studying the way in which the characteristics of living organisms, whether morphological, physiological, biochemical or behavioral, are transmitted, generated and expressed, from one generation to another, under different environmental conditions, that is, try to explain how the characteristics of living beings are inherited and modified, which can be in shape (the height of a plant, the color of its seeds, the shape of the flower...), physiological (for example, the constitution of certain protein that performs a specific function within the body of an animal), and even behavior (in the form of courtship before mating in certain groups of birds, or the way of mating of mammals, among others). In this way, the principles of genetics tries to study how these characteristics pass to generation after generation, and why, in turn, they vary generation after other.

What kind of compounds are basic sugars and starches?
Mashutka [201]

A carbohydrate is an organic compound such as sugar or starch, and is used to store energy. Like most organic compounds, carbohydrates are built of small, repeating units that form bonds with each other to make a larger molecule. In the case of carbohydrates, the small repeating units are called monosaccharides.
