Viruses are considered non-living because they do not have a biological machinery to replicate, and they do not have a metabolism.
They replicate by using the host cell
Virus do not consume energy to survive or regulate its own temperature
Answer/Explanation:
We are not told if the plant has 20 chromosomes in total or 20 pairs of chromosomes. E.g. a human has 23 chromosomes, but we are diploid, so there are 46 chromosomes present in most cells.
An exception to the rule is the gametes, or the sex cells, where we are haploid. We have 23 chromosomes in these cells.
Pollen cells in plants are the sex cells. Therefore, they are haploid. If we assume that 20 chromosomes is the haploid number (and there are therefore 20 pairs of chromosomes) then the pollen will have 20 chromosomes.
If we assume that 20 chromosomes is the diploid number (and therefore there are 10 pairs of chromosomes), then the pollen will have 10 chromosomes.
Through cellular respiration, photosynthesis’s reactants are cell resp products
Carbon is the essential atom of “hydrocarbons” from which all organic molecules required for life are formed.
Hornblende and other amphiboles have double chain silicate structures.
Tetrahedron (SiO4)^4- is the fundamental building block of all the silicate minerals. Silicate minerals comprising chains are known as inosilicates. In single chains, the ratio of silicon to oxygen is 1: 3, while it is 4: 11 in the case of double chains.
The double-chain silicates take place when tetrahedral produce a double chain by sharing two or three oxygen atoms each.
