Viruses are not living things. Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own they can do nothing until they enter a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things.

How did the cell theory impact later scientific discoveries
Bond [772]

Answer:

The Cell Theory has greatly impacted later scientific discoveries, even the modern science. It proves that every living thing in the world is made up of one or more cells. It impacted scientific discoveries because now scientists can find out more about organisms that they couldn't have if they didn't know about cells. Because of this, scientists can now understand and identify various organisms.

What must happen to a chromosome before a cell starts mitosis?
slamgirl [31]
The chromosome must be duplicated before mitosis.

Mitosis is where a parent cell divides and produces 2 genetically indentical daughters cells. This process first requires the parent call to duplicate all of its genetic material. This ensures that the daughters cells are genetically identical to the parent cell and also the other daughter cell.

This is important because mitosis is used in many cases in living things such as growth, repair, and more. This ensures us for example not suddenly changed to another organism or another characteristic.

A force of 2.20 N is exerted on a 7,20 g rifle bullet. What is the bullet's acceleration? (Enter your answer in m/s^ 2 )
sweet [91]

Answer:

The answer is 306 m/s^2

Explanation:

F = m*a

We can rearrange this formula to get a = F / m.

The SI unit for mass is kilograms (kg).

The SI unit for acceleration is m/s^2.

There are 1000 grams in a kilogram.

7.20 g = 0.00720 kg

Force (2.20 N) / 0.00720 kg = 305.56 m/s^2

Accounting for Sig Figs, the answer is 306 m/s^2.

Gee, that's one fast bullet.

Similarities between diploid and haploid
ad-work [718]

Answer: Diploid cells contain two complete sets (2n) of chromosomes. Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes (n) as diploid - i.e. a haploid cell contains only one complete set of chromosomes. Diploid cells reproduce by mitosis making daughter cells that are exact replicas.
