Provide evidence to support the claim that viruses fall on the border between living and nonliving.
Answer:
Just like living organisms, viruses use genetic material such as DNA or RNA, but unlike living things, they cannot reproduce using mitosis, binary fission or meiosis. Instead, they simply insert the genetic material into a living cell and then replicate their genetic material along with the cell's in order to create more viruses.
Summarize the process of sexual reproduction and explain how variations of inherited traits can increase or decrease an organism’s chance of survival
Answer:
Explanation:
A Human cell has 46 chromosomes. (I’ll use humans to keep things simple). In sexual reproduction both humans have 23 chromosomes, in their sex cells. (Men have 23 in a sperm and women have 23 in an egg cell). These half cells merge to create 1 unique cell, that has characteristics of both male and female. The cells multiply and then a baby is born with a unique set of genes. These cause variations, and remember these variations can carry from generation to generation. As for how variations can increase a chance for survival, variations allow unique gene sets to be made, so that in case of a disease (in this case I’ll use a disease, but it could also include harsh environmental conditions), these unique gene sets may give an individual natural immunity to the disease. How can a variation decrease an organisms chance for survival? Well, s there are many ways that a unique gene set can make it difficult to survive. For example a genetic disease your family has had a history with. These diseases include, but are not limited to, cancer, diabetes, and schizophrenia.

Which type of energy change causes this leaf to grow? A. Thermal energy is transformed into potential energy. B. Thermal energy is transferred to the leaf. C. Electromagnetic energy is transformed into chemical energy. D. Electromagnetic energy is transferred to the leaf.
Answer:
C. Electromagnetic energy is transformed into chemical energy
Explanation:
Growth is one of the characteristics of living things. It refers to the increase of an organism. A leaf is part of a plant, which is a photosynthetic organism i.e. an organism capable of producing its own food using energy from sunlight. Light energy is a part of the ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY.
This light energy is used to synthesize glucose (food) via photosynthesis. The glucose, which stores chemical energy in its bond is then broken down to yield ATP used for growth. Hence, the transformation of electromagnetic energy to light energy is how a leaf grow.
it is C. Electromagnetic energy is transformed into chemical energy.
Essay on atoms 70 words
Answer:
The atom, the basic building block of matter, consists of a core nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. Inside the atom nucleus contains a mixture of positively charged protons, and electrically neutral neutrons. All atomic electrons bind to the nucleus through electromagnetic force. A ground of electrons bound together will form individual molecules. An atom with an equal number of protons and electrons will hold neutral. An ion has positive or negative charge, either through a lack of electrons or an electron excess. The number of protons determines the formation of chemical elements, while as the number of neutrons determines the element's isotope. Most of the atom's mass has a concentration compacted within its nucleus; however, protons and neutrons hold about the same mass. Electrons bound to atoms hold a percentage of stable energy levels, otherwise known as orbitals, which undergo transitory processes through absorbing or omitting photons with equal energy levels. Electrons determine an element's chemical properties, thus influencing an atom's magnetic properties.

Kidneys remove what kind of waste from the body?
Answer:
Healthy kidneys filter about a half cup of blood every minute, removing wastes and extra water to make urine. The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through two thin tubes of muscle called ureters, one on each side of your bladder. Your bladder stores urine.
Explanation:

How are chloroplasts like mitochondria?
Group of answer choices
They both contain DNA.
They are both found in animal cells.
They look alike.
They can both use energy from sunlight.
Answer: Chloroplasts, like mitochondria, produce energy for plant cells. Both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own circular DNA and can function independently of the eukaryotic host cell. Hope this helps! I don't like giving direct answers I feel you should have a chance to learn.
Explanation:
b) How does the thermal energy of solid water change as it melts?
Answer:
Hi! So solid water would be ice, the particles in ice are very close together which makes it firm and makes it ice. When you put the ice in the microwave, (Microwave has heat so it would be thermal energy!) the particles in the ice mover a tiny bit away from each other which then makes it water. Then, if you boil the water, the particles that are in the water move far away from each other and it turns into steam!
Hope this helps!! Stay safe! <3

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of all living things?
Ability to reproduce
Ability to move
O Growth and development
Homeostasis
Answer:
homeostatis
Explanation:
The answer should be homeostatis. Organisms can not do this.
Answer:
Ability to move
Explanation:
All organism species have the ability to reproduce, grow and develop, and maintain homeostasis (for example, sweating). Not all organisms can move, however. Cacti, for instance, are stiff and do not move on their own, yet are still alive.
HELP PLEASE BTW ITS NOT C I JUST PUT ANY ANSWER

Explain the purpose of cellular respiration .where does it take place ?
Answer:
Cellular respiration, it is an aerobic process in which glucose is combined with oxygen and Adenosine di-phosphate (ADP) to produce carbon dioxide, water, and Adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP).
Cellular respiration takes place in double membraned organelle called mitochondrion.
How does mutation increase chances for survival? Please help me.
Answer:
These mutations can increase an organism's chance for survival and usually occur over a course of many generations producing offspring (or babies) with the helpful mutation. ... This would allow you to mate and produce offspring because you would have survived for longer lifespans.

Using the law of conservation of mass, what is the mass, in grams, of the product in the given reaction?
Reactant 1 (35 grams)+ Reactant 2 (115 grams) →Product (? grams)
A. 80
B. 140
C. 150
D. 75
Answer:
The correct option is;
C. 150
Explanation:
By the law of conservation of mass we have that in a closed system, the mass of the items in the system can not be destroyed or created by a physical process or chemical reaction
In the given chemical reaction process we have;
Reactant 1 (35 grams) + Reactant 2 (115 grams) → Product = ((35 + 115) grams)
∴ Reactant 1 (35 grams) + Reactant 2 (115 grams) → Product (150 grams)
The mass of the product = 150 grams.
