Answer/Explanation
Characteristics of Life Present in Viruses:
- has a defined boundary - viruses are made up simply of genetic material surrounded by a<u> protein capsid </u>and sometimes a lipid membrane
Characteristics of Life Absent in Viruses:
- made up of one or more cells - one of the main arguments for why viruses are not living is that they are <u>not cellular</u>
- uses energy - this is a tricky one. They don't use or produce their own energy. However, in order to reproduce they do hijack the host cells and <u>steal energy</u> from them in order to reproduce
- exhibits growth and development - although viruses do <u>reproduce</u>, the individual viral particles do not exhibit growth or development
- possess internal organisation - other than the fact they ahve genetic material, the inside of a virus does not contain internal organization like a cytosol, instead conssiting of the bare minimum amount of proteins to survive
- eliminates waste - since they do not have their own metabolism, they have no waste to eliminate

Explanation:
An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed and the change in enthalpy for the reaction is positive.
If we look at the reaction 2HgO + 45kcal ----> 2Hg + O2; we will notice that
i) 45kcal of energy was taken in (absorbed) for the reaction to occur
ii) The value of the reaction enthalpy is positive
For these two reasons, the reaction is an endothermic reaction as written.
Answer:
detail is given below.
Explanation:
This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Law of conservation of mass:
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
For example:
In given photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
The given equation is balanced chemical equation of photosynthesis. There are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
If equation is not balanced,
CO₂ + H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
It can not follow the law of conservation of mass because mass is not equal on both side of equation.
