Are viruses alive? the scientific debate continues. viruses exhibit some characteristics of life, but others are missing. the most obvious reason why scientists still refer to viruses as non-living is that they

a. do not change over time.
b) do not contain any genetic material.
c) are much smaller than anything alive.
d) are not composed of one or more cells.

An enzymatic hydrolysis of fructose-1-p, fructose-1-p(aq) + h2o(l) - fructose (aq) + pi (aq) was allowed to proceed to equilibrium at 25°c. the original concentration of fructose-1-p was 0.2 m, but when the system had reached equilibrium, the concentration of fructose-1-p was only 6.52 x 10^-5 m. calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction and the free energy of hydrolysis of fructose-1-p.
