Answer #1

Virus is a nucleoprotein entity capable of multiplication by taking over cellular machinery of the host cell without involving growth and division. Multiplication involves synthesis of parts followed by their assembly. Depending upon the host, viruses are called bacteriophage( feed on bacteria/ infecting bacteria) , Coliphages ( bacteriophages of E.coli ) , Cynophages ( infecting blue green algae ) , phycophages ( infecting algae ), Zymophages ( mycophages over yeast ) , mycophages ( infecting fungus) , phytophages ( plant viruses) and Zoophages ( animal viruses).

How do differences in amino acid sequences lead to different protein functions? A. Different amino acids produce different proteins based on the bonds formed between them B. Differences in amino acids lead to the recycling of proteins, which produces other functional proteins. C. Different amino acids cause rearrangements of amino acids to produce a functional protein. D. Differences in the amino acids cause post-translational modification of the protein, which reassembles to produce a functional protein.

WILL RATE YOU How do some bacteria even survive within our guts? We have learned so much about microbes and how they can form symbiotic relationships with a variety of organisms, but something that may be overlooked is their ability to survive in hostile environments. For example, the human gastrointestinal tract has a pH ranging from 6 in the small intestine all the way up to 7.4 in the terminal ileum. As we've learned, microbes are at their maximal efficiency...
