Brain Warmer 19 Which of the following best
Brain Warmer 19 Which of the following best describes viral reproduction? A. The genetic material of a virus enters a living host cell and takes over the translational and transcriptional mechanisms of the cell in order to replicate the virus's nucleic acids. B. The chromosomes of a virus line up and condense into rod-like structures inside of the virus's capsid, then slowly divide as a viral envelope forms around each chromosome. C. The chromosomes of a virus replicate themselves inside of the virus's capsid, then line up and slowly divide as a viral envelope forms around each set. D. The genetic material of a virus enters a living host cell and combines with the cell's nucleotides in order to form a hybrid cell that is capable of asexual reproduction.
Scientific Explanation: A Viruses are unable to reproduce independently. Viruses must infect a living host cell in order to replicate their genetic material. Viral reproduction occurs when the genetic material of a virus enters a living host cell and takes over the host cell in order to replicate the virus's nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).

All about plants – STAAR academic vocabulary
1. root hair - each of a large number of elongated microscopic outgrowths from the outer layer of cells in a root, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the soil
2. Invasive species - is defined as a species that is: 1) non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem under consideration and. 2) whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health.
3. Vascular tissue is found in all the plant's vegetative organs, the roots, stems, and leaves. There are 2 types of vascular tissues – xylem, phloem Xylem transports and stores water and watersoluble nutrients in vascular plants. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants.
transports water and minerals from transports food from leaves to roots to leaves other parts of the plant
4. phototropism –is the orientation of a plant or other organism in response to light, either toward the source of light ( positive phototropism ) or away from it ( negative phototropism ).
5. enzymes - a substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction.
6. thigmotropism - the turning or bending of a plant or other organism in response to a touch stimulus
7. Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products
8. Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves.
9. stomata - Taking in oxygen is very important because it allows your cells to do things, like make energy from the food you eat. Plants 'breathe' too, but they do it through tiny openings in leaves called stomata (singular: stoma). Stomata open and close to allow the intake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen.

10. Some students are instructed to put a celery stalk in a red dye solution for a lab activity. First the students carefully cut the bottom of the stalk with a scalpel. Then they put the stalk in the beaker with the solution and place the beaker on a shelf in the lab room. The next day they check the stalk and make observations. The students note that the leaves at the end of the stalk have changed color from green to red. The students cut across the celery stalk and use a hand lens to see that the small tube openings along the edge of the celery stalk are also red. The cross section is shown below How do the plant systems work together to make this movement of liquid possible? F The roots absorb water and minerals and move them up to the stem, while the stem moves food produced in the leaves down to the roots in tiny tubes. G The roots anchor the plant in the soil, and the stem holds the leaves up. H The roots absorb their own water and minerals, while the stem absorbs its water and minerals through the leaves. J The roots lose water vapor to the soil, and the stem loses water vapor through the leaves.

. Brain Warmer 23 Some bacteria can make you sick, while other bacteria helps you. There are many strains of E. coli, for instance. Some of these strains make humans sick. Other strains live harmlessly inside your large intestines. Because both bacteria and viruses can be pathogenic, or cause disease, people often confuse them. But they are not the same thing. A virus is genetic material coated in protein. Since viruses lack cells, scientists debate whether viruses should be considered living or not. There is no debate about bacteria though. They are alive. Fortunately, doctors and scientists have developed medicines called antibiotics that can help kill some types of harmful bacteria. These medicines do not protect us from viruses and should not be taken without a prescription from a doctor. Some fungi can also cause infections. But bacteria and fungi are not the same either. 130
