Which one by itself does not possess the ability to synthesize its own proteins? Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button.

a virus

a human cell, a virus, and a bacterial cell

a viral particle and a bacterial cell

a human cell

a bacterial cell

A virus does not possess the tendency to synthesize their own proteins.  

•Viruses are not animals, plants, or bacteria, however, they are the quintessential parasites of the living kingdoms.  

•Viruses are not living organisms as in the absence of a host cell, they cannot perform their life-sustaining activities of reproduce.  

•They cannot produce their own proteins, as they are devoid of ribosomes and must utilize the ribosomes of their host cells to convert the viral mRNA into the viral proteins.  

Thus, the correct answer is a virus.

A virus

Explanation:

A virus requires a host cell to implant proteins into so that the host cell can create new virus cells.  The virus essentially hijacks the cell.

All other listed cells can create new copies of their own proteins.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
