Describe the function of each of the important structures in a virus. (
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The main function of the virion is to deliver its DNA or RNA genome into the host cell so that the genome can be expressed (transcribed and translated) by the host cell. The viral genome, often with associated basic proteins, is packaged inside a symmetric protein capsid.

Explanation:

what is  a virus A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. Viruses infect all life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea. Since Dmitri Ivanovsky's 1892 article describing a non-bacterial pathogen infecting tobacco plants and the discovery of the tobacco mosaic virus by Martinus Beijerinck in 1898, more than 9,000 virus species have been described in detail of the millions of types of viruses in the environment. Viruses are found in almost every ecosystem on Earth and are the most numerous type of biological entity. The study of viruses is known as virology, a subspeciality of microbiology.

What is the main sugar used by cells for energy?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The answer is GLUCOSE.

Explanation:

Glucose is the main sugar used by cells for energy. Glucose is derived from the digestion of carbohydrates. In humans, glucose is usually absorbed into the blood from the small intestine, the blood then carry the blood around the body, allowing each cell to have access to the glucose it needs.

If the quantity of glucose in the blood is more than needed per time, the body usually store the excess glucose as glycogen, the glycogen will be turned to glucose and release for cell use when the quantity of sugar in the blood is low. In the absence of glycogen, other macro nutrients such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis when the concentration of glucose in the blood is low.

The cells oxidize the glucose and convert it to energy in form of ATP, which they use to carry out their life activities.
