Viruses are one of the leading causes of illness in the world True False

Biology
2 answers:
Svetradugi [14.3K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

False, but be sure you read what follows.

Explanation:

False: Heart disease and Most Cancers are not viruses. Or at least as far as I know. However complicating the issue is the fact that after a viral infection, heart disease can develop.

Cancer is another example, and the answer again is not black and white. 16% of all cancers can trace their beginnings to a bacteria or virus. That leaves 84% whose beginnings are not that clear.

The question is not black and white. I'd be careful how you think of it. If something is a complication, is that a direct cause? I still think the answer is false,  but don't be surprised if your instructor disagrees. Move on to something a little less black and white.

What is not a structure used for locomotion in protists?
bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

Locomotion bacteria, protists and fungi The movement for living beings can be the difference between living and dying, some of the bacteria have the ability to move through two mechanisms: movement by flagella and movement by sliding Movement by phalanges: in bacteria, the Flagella are thin and elongated structures that remain attached to the cell by one end. The flagella are made of a protein called flagelin and its shape is helical, for the movement the flagellum has a system called an engine that is at the base and the wall is connected to the membrane. The motor system works driven by protons that move thanks to the action of the proteins of the base of the scourge., The rotation and movement of the scourge are not constant and depend on stimuli. The flagella are arranged differently according to the type of bacteria, there are peritic, lofotrica and polar flagella.

The structure of protein molecules describe ?
artcher [175]
Proteins are polymers composed of repeating units of amino acids, linked via peptide bonds (bonds between the amine and carboxyl groups of the adjacent amino acids). All proteins have a primary, secondary and tertiary structure and some, such as haemoglobin, have a quaternary structure. 

Primary structure of the proteins are the sequence of amino acids and their order. The "R" regions of the amino acids determine the proteins secondary tertiary and quaternary structures.

In the secondary structure, the protein folds into either an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet. This occurs due to hydrogen bonding between the "R" group of the amino acids.

The tertiary structure gives the protein its 3D shape. Here it is folded further and more bonds (such as disulphide bonds) also form.

In the quaternary structure, prosthetic groups (e.g. a haem group for haemoglobin) is added. If the protein has more than one protein chains, here the chains join to form the final protein.
