The capsid is the protein shell that surrounds the core of a virus where its nucleic acid is located. The capsid is made up small sub units called capsomeres. A virus consists of a nucleic acid which may either be RNA or DNA and is found in varying quantities in the virus. It is this nucleic acid that is vital to the virus' survival that is housed in the capsid. A drug that targets the capsid and damages it will cause the nucleic acid to leak out of the virus and into the surrounding while other fluids foreign to the virus will get in rendering the virus totally impaired, and due to this the virus cannot survive but will speedily die.

                   increasing production of cheap calories of Sugar and Triglycerides  for use in food products

The attempt by farmers to maximize profit prompted them to give hormones e.g streroids to  animals to increase their  biochemical reactions therefore the the products yields e.g they  are  giving  steroids  to poultry  to  improve chicken, eggs production;and  to  cattle for improved beef and milk production.

In order to obtain maximum sugar and fats productions, cheap calories  forms of there  are being  produced. e,g fructose, maltose. if  maltose  is consumed in excess  it leads to  obesity, while fructose increases the level of cholesterol.These products  requires a lot of processing with different chemical products which leads to health problems after consumption

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

La pata de un pato y la aleta de un pez son en ambos casos son elementos que les permiten tanto al pato como al pez moverse, además de sus funciones de estabilidad. La aleta de una ballena y el brazo del ser humano, sucede lo mismo que en el caso anterior. En el caso de la aleta de la ballena, es como la aleta del pez. En cuanto al brazo del ser humano permite realizar movimientos que contribuyen al desarrollo de sus funciones, como por ejemplo, agarrar distintos elementos. La pelvis reducida de los cetáceos no tiene actualmente ninguna función.

Explanation:

La pata de un pato es una extremidad que por su estructura le permita nadar perfectamente. En cuanto a la aleta de los peces y ballenas, es una parte de estos animales formada por tejido conjuntivo. Pueden tener distintos tamaños y su principal función no sólo es permitir el movimiento sino también la estabilidad. En cuanto a la pelvis reducida de los cetáceos era algo que tenía sentido en especies de antaño. Durante la evolución, su utilidad de fue perdiendo, como podría mencionarse el ejemplo en los humanos de las muelas de juicio.

Which of the following organelles assembles proteins? ribosomes Golgi apparatus nuclear envelope or endoplasmic reticulum
Artist 52 [7]

The right answer is Ribosomes

The ribosome is a complex composed of RNA and ribosomal proteins, associated with a membrane (in the granular endoplasmic reticulum) or free in the cytoplasm. Common to all cells (prokaryotes and eukaryotes), the ribosome (and especially its composition) varies according to the organisms, even if it is always composed of two distinct subunits.

The ribosome is a huge ribonucleoprotein complex that allows the translation of mRNAs into proteins.
