Answer:
A
Explanation:
Usually a virus is mainly made up of genetic material (DNA or RNA) inside a capsid/envelope. It has no organelles like a ‘true’ cell. Because it cannot reproduce on its own, scientists struggle to categorize it as a living thing since reproduction is a property of living things. The virus reproduces by hijacking the cellular mechanisms of the host cells to replicate itself. It does so by integrating itself in the genome of the host so that its DNA is also replicated, along with that of the host, by the host cell DNA polymerases and its proteins produced by the ribosomes of the host.

barrier (BHE)
BHE is a barrier that's highly permeability selective and protects
the central nervous system from potential dangers like viruses, bacteria and parasytes that may be circulating int he blood. <span>It is composed of endothelial cells, astrocytes, pericytes.</span></span>

Answer: 4%
Out of 5000kcal, the owl loses 2300kcal which mean it could only process 2700kcal. Out of 2700kcal processed, 2500 kcal is used for cellular respiration so there is 200 kcal used to make body cells. The production efficiency would be: 200kcal/5000kcal= 4%
Answer:
(A) Bioaccumulation
Explanation:
When the concentration of certain substances in the bodies of the organisms of various trophic levels keeps on increasing as they pass through the food chain, the process is called bioaccumulation or biomagnification.
Most of the organic non-biodegradable pollutants/chemicals exhibit bioaccumulation. Being insoluble in water, these chemicals are accumulated in the fat tissues of the organisms.
As the predator feeds on the prey having a non-biodegradable chemical in its tissues, the chemical enters the body of the predator.
As these chemicals pass through the food chain, there is a gradual increase in their concentration stored in the living tissues of the organisms. Therefore, the top consumers exhibit maximum bioaccumulation of contaminants in a food chain.
