Yes they should be viewed as nonliving. Because viroids are just like viruses without protein coats. They are similar to viruses excepte the protein coat. And prions are like malfunctioned proteins. They cause diseases too but they are non-living too. Because they too, don't have any metabolics reactions.
One of the good reason to use simulation in an experiment is to predict the outcome of an event in the real world.
Explanation:
Simulation is a programming software which helps in imaging or easy understanding of any experimental concept virtually. For example, if we enter the details regarding an element, the simulation can draw the structure of that element. Also it may predict the working of the bonds and other parameters in different conditions based on classical and quantum theoretical laws. So a researcher can compare the results obtained from simulation and also from experimental results.
In other words, simulation will help a researcher to have an assumption about the behavior of the sample in real world conditions.
The patient is receiving succinylcholine or commercially called anectine.
Succinylcholine is a medication often used in the context of general anaesthesia and its main effect is general paralysis. The drug's mechanism of action includes the inhibition of the acetylcholine's action on skeletal muscles. This inhibition is caused by the binding of the drug on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and the depolarization of the muscle cell.
