Answer:
of the low pH of the vagina.
Explanation:
The pH of the vagina is maintained at highly acidic levels to prevent the germ buildup. The range of vaginal pH is around 3.8 to 4.5. The very low pH of the vagina creates a hostile environment for sperms and most of the sperms are killed as they enter the vagina due to the acidic pH.
Apart from supplementing the sperms with energy, cervical mucus serves to protect the sperms from the hostile conditions of the vagina. The cervical mucus has an alkaline pH at or near the ovulation to protect sperms from acidic pH of the vagina and to facilitate fertilization.

Explanation:
A continental plate is exemplified by the North American Plate, which includes North America as well as the oceanic crust between it and a portion of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The latter is an enormous submarine mountain chain that extends down the axis of the Atlantic basin,…
It is the ozone layer, good luck! :)
Answer:
adsorption, penetration, biosynthesis, maturation, release
Explanation:
The virus after infecting the cell produces several progenies which after reaching a certain number cause the lysis of the cell and are then released out from it. This process of entering the host by the virus and then lysing the cells to be released is termed as a lytic cycle.
There are 5 stages involved in this lytic cycle:
1. Adsorption - when the virus finds its attachment site on the bacteria it gets attached to the viral receptor and then is adsorbed on the bacteria, this is the first step required to gain entry into the host.
2. Penetration - once the virus is attached to the host the next step is to penetrate it and enter inside the cell. For this, the virus secretes lysozyme and then inserts its genetic material inside the cell.
3. Biosynthesis - this stage involves the utilization of the enzymes and nucleotides of the host to make up the DNA of the phage.
4. Maturation - once the phage DNA is made the next stage is to assemble the phage DNA with the capsid and this is termed as maturation.
5. Release - this step involves the breakage of the plasma membrane of the host cell and the release fo the phage particles.
