X axis: independent variable
Y axis: dependent variable
Viruses use two different cycles of replication, the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle. In what way is the lysogenic cycle different from the lytic cycle?
The lysogenic cycle does not cause immediate harm to the host cell. The lytic cycle will kill the host cell quicker & release new viruses
Describe the vacuole in a plant cell compared to an animal cell and what happens when water leaves and enters the vacuole.
In plant cells, there is a large central vacuole. When full the plant cell is turgid; when empty it is flaccid.
