Characteristics of Living Organisms: Ability to reproduce independently, ability to grow
Characteristics of Viruses: Not made of cells, have a protein coat instead of a membrane.
Characteristics of Both: Can have a DNA genome, may mutate and evolve
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The widest part of the body is below the middle. The body of a paramecium is asymmetrical. It has a well-defined ventral or oral surface and has a convex aboral or dorsal body surface. Its whole body is covered with a flexible, thin and firm membrane called pellicles.
Explanation:
Answer: The theory of cheek cells is used for the identification of cheek cells.
Explanation:
The cells of cheek do not have cell wall. They have a cell membrane which allows on certain molecules to pass through it. The nucleus is located centrally in the cheek cells and it stores the DNA. It can be stained with the help of the methylene blue reagent. It appears blue in color which can be observed under the microscope. The cheek cells can be isolated from the buccal cavity by using cotton buds and cotton swabs can help in isolating the cells.

Answer:
Each organ system performs specific functions for the body, and each organ system is typically studied independently. However, the organ systems also work together to help the body maintain homeostasis.
For example, the cardiovascular, urinary, and lymphatic systems all help the body control water balance. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems transport fluids throughout the body and help sense both solute and water levels and regulate pressure. If the water level gets too high, the urinary system produces more dilute urine (urine with a higher water content) to help eliminate the excess water. If the water level gets too low, more concentrated urine is produced so that water is conserved. The digestive system also plays a role with variable water absorption. Water can be lost through the integumentary and respiratory systems, but that loss is not directly involved in maintaining body fluids and is usually associated with other homeostatic mechanisms.
Similarly, the cardiovascular, integumentary, respiratory, and muscular systems work together to help the body maintain a stable internal temperature. If body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate, allowing more blood to flow near the skin’s surface. This allows heat to dissipate through the skin and into the surrounding air. The skin may also produce sweat if the body gets too hot; when the sweat evaporates, it helps to cool the body. Rapid breathing can also help the body eliminate excess heat. Together, these responses to increased body temperature explain why you sweat, pant, and become red in the face when you exercise hard. (Heavy breathing during exercise is also one way the body gets more oxygen to your muscles, and gets rid of the extra carbon dioxide produced by the muscles.)
