A period in 24-point font (.) is about 1mm in diameter. SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 80 nm. The prefix “milli” means 1000, which

tells you there are 1000 millimeters (mm)in a meter. The prefix “nano” means 109 (1 billion), which tells you there are 1 billion nanometers (nm) in a meter. Approximately how many SARS-CoV-2 viruses could fit in that period? (Hint: There are 106nm in 1mm).

Answer:

Approximately 12,500 SARS-CoV-2 viruses

Explanation:

According to this question, the period described is 1mm in diameter. Since 1millimetre(mm) is 1000metre(m), this means that the period is 0.001m in diameter.

Also, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has a diameter of 80 nm (1nm = 10^9m).

Since 10^6nanometres (nm) or 1,000,000nm makes 1millimeter (mm), 80nm of the virus will be:

= 80/1,000,000

= 0.000080mm or 8 × 10^-5mm

To calculate how many of the SARS-CoV-2 virus will fit into the period, we divide the diameter of the period (in mm) by the diameter of the virus (in mm).

That is; 1 ÷ 8 × 10^-5

= 1/8 × 10^5

= 0.125 × 100,000

= 12,500

Therefore, approximately 12500 SARS-CoV-2 viruses will fit in the period.

As part of their normal function, many proteins bind to DNA briefly and then release it again. Which types of interactions might
Harman [31]

Answer:

Non-covalent interactions.

Explanation:

DNA is present as genetic material in all the living organism except some viruses. DNA also perform important other functions - code for proteins, used as a source of energy.

The DA binds with protein to perform their functions. These proteins may acts as activator for DNA. The proteins binds in the non covalent interactions ( ionic bonding, hydrogen bonding, vanderwalls and hydrophobic interaction) so that proteins may easily detach from the proteins. These interactions helps in the attachment and easily detachment of proteins from DNA.

Thus, the correct answer is non-covalent interaction.

Both the full body plate type and the half body plate trait are also present in an ocean near the lake. Where would you expect a
meriva

Answer:

In the ocean

Explanation:

Ecological divergence leads to selection of essential traits against migrants and hybrid species. The full body plate type traits requires attention for occurrence  in an environment which is free from issues such as resource limitation or predator attacks. In vast ocean spaces , resources are not a limiting factor in ocean and also there is no risk of predators as there is huge chunk of space, thus, full body plate type will occur in higher number in the ocean.

Do autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration?
nydimaria [60]
Many autotrophs make food through the process of photosynthesis, in which light energy from the sun is changed to chemical energy that is stored in glucose. All organisms use cellular respiration to break down glucose, release its energy, and make ATP. Autotrophs are also called producers. They produce food not only for themselves but for all other living things as well (which are known as consumers). This is why autotrophs form the basis of food chains.
Yes, autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration.
