Chapter 28.5, Problem 4LO
Summary Introduction
To classify:
The difference between viruses, viroids, and prions.
Introduction:
There is a common thread between these 3 classes of organisms as all the three: viruses, viroids, and prions are microscopic, infectious particles. Viruses are composed of genetic material DNA or RNA along with a protein capsid and in some instances a lipid envelope. Viroids are circular single stranded RNA molecules known as smallest pathogens.
They affect several plants. Prions refer to infectious particles composed of proteins that can undergo multiple folding patterns and are capable of causing infectious diseases. The name prion is derived from proteinaceous infectious particle. It is an agent that does not depend on genes that involve RNA or DNA for transmission.

Apart from food, plants need other nutrients like water and minerals.
Nitrogen, a mineral, is an important part of all living cells. All organisms need nitrogen in order to grow and repair.
Although nitrogen exists in its elemental form in the atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by plants.
7 Where else can plants obtain their nitrogen from?
Plants make their own nitrogen.
B Plants get it from animals.
Plants get it from the soil.
D
Plants have special structures to break down
atmospheric nitrogen.
