Abstract: This article deals with the chemical composition of essential oil from the fruits of Solanum erianthum‚ a species extensively used in traditional medicine. The essential oil from fruits was extracted by hydrodistillation and the chemical composition of the essential oil was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The yield of essential oil based on the dry weight of the plant was 0.05 % (v/w). Twenty two compounds accounting for 99.2 % of the total oil were identified

Deadly Invaders Project 1. A virus is an infective agent that has a nucleic acid molecule in a protective coat. They generally range in 20 to 300 nm‚ has RNA or DNA that multiplies in a cell. A lytic phase in a virus is when the conditions for infecting are favorable‚ when there are many “victim cells” and good conditions outside the cell. 2. Viruses are not alive‚ as they only have DNA/RNA and few other necessary ingredients of a cell. They lack too many things to be called living. Viruses reproduce
