Biology
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The simplest virions consist of two basic components: nucleic acid (single- or double-stranded RNA or DNA) and a protein coat, the capsid, which functions as a shell to protect the viral genome from nucleases and which during infection attaches the virion to specific receptors exposed on the prospective host cell.

A virion consists of a nucleic acid core, an outer protein coating or capsid, and sometimes an outer envelope made of protein and phospholipid membranes derived from the host cell. The capsid is made up of protein subunits called capsomeres. Viruses may also contain additional proteins, such as enzymes

Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 3 points)
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

As of plants, bioluminescent algae fix carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight and release oxygen. Further, during this process, they produce light as a part of photosynthesis products. Therefore, the use of bioluminescent algae can reduce anthropogenic carbon dioxide from the environment.

Bioluminescent algae-based lamps are being prepared by scientists to overcome these environmental concerns. Furthermore, these lamps would be used as street lights and reduce energy demands as well (burning of fossil fuels).
