Which of the following is true of retroviruses? (3 points)

Biology
1 answer:
Nikitich [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A retrovirus is an RNA virus that is duplicated in a host cell using the reverse transcriptase enzyme to produce DNA from its RNA genome. The DNA is then incorporated into the host’s genome by an integrase enzyme. The virus thereafter replicates as part of the host cell’s DNA. Retroviruses are enveloped viruses that belong to the viral family Retroviridae. A special variant of retroviruses are endogenous retroviruses, which are integrated into the genome of the host and inherited across generations. Endogenous retroviruses are a type of transposon.

An endangered species is a type of species in which this type of organism has decreasing numbers and are dangerously close to going extinct. Invasive species are species in which an organism invades an environment where it is not native to, and take over the ecosystem. Local species are species in which the organism is native to that environment and plays a key role in that ecosystem. A keystone species is a species in which the organism is a key part of that ecosystem to thrive; without it, the ecosystem would collapse

TRUE/FALSE
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A double-helical DNA molecule consists of two DNA strands. A DNA strand has free 5' phosphate at one end and a free hydroxyl group (OH) at its 3' end. A DNA double helix is said to be antiparallel since each end of the double helix has an exposed 5' phosphate on one strand and a free 3' hydroxyl group (OH) on the other. This means that the two DNA strands run in opposite directions. A phosphate group is always esterified to the 5' carbon of the pentose sugar; never at its 3' end.

How can carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins be detected in foods?
tino4ka555 [31]
The Benedict’s Test is the test which can detect carbohydrates and glucose in foods. During this process, the sample or the food is placed into a test tube and then some drops of Benedict's solution is added to it,and is then put into a beaker of boiling water. When the mixture of food and the Benedict substance turns reddish orange instead of staying blue, this means that it is positive. The mixture has simple sugar or has carbohydrates or glucose. On the other hand, lipids are tested using the brown paper test. When the paper turns transparent when a drop of food is put into it, it means that is is positive as well. When you want to test if the food has proteins, you have to test it with Biurets. Observe if the color change when you put some Biurets solution to the food sample. It is positive if the food turns light purple. Test if the food is positive with starches through the use of iodine. Food having iodine drops should turn purple instead of staying a yellow color.

When a phosphate group is released ATP becomes
Marat540 [252]
This occurs when a molecule of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) uses the energy released during cellular respiration to bond with a thirdphosphate group, becoming amolecule of ATP. So the energy from cellular respiration is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rdphosphate group
