Which of the following is NOT a reason why viruses violate the conditions for life (in other words, which of the following is not an explanation for why viruses are not alive)?

A. Viruses do not contain RNA or DNA.
B. Viruses cannot replicate by themselves.
C. Virus structure is not organized in cells.
D. Viruses do not grow and develop.

A. Viruses do not contain RNA or DNA.

Explanation:

This is not a reason why viruses violate the conditions for life. Viruses do contain DNA or RNA, as they are usually made up of a central core of either DNA or RNA surrounded by a coating of protein. However, there are several other characteristics of life that viruses do not fulfill. Viruses are not made up of cells. They have no energy metabolism and do not grow or produce waste. They also do not respond to stimuli and do not reproduce independently.

both anaerobic and aerobic respiration use glucose (or other carbohydrates), proteins and lipids to produce atp and nadh. cell uses those energy molecules, obtained from food and   breaks them down during the chemical reactions of respiration. in anaerobic respiration, nadh is regenerated to nad+ by enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (lactate is produced, e.g. in muscle cells) or by alcohol dehydrogenase where ethanol is produced (alcohol fermentation), while in aerobic respiration, electrons from nadh are deposited in the mitochondria to regenerate nad+ (electron transport chain. anaerobic respiration produces 2 atp per molecule of glucose compared to aerobic respiration where about 38 atp molecules are produced.

children tend to take more after their grandparents more than their parents. it’s the dna you received that was passed down to you somewhere in your family. maybe one of your grandparents had/has straight hair and you might have gotten it from them.
