Why virus can't replicate on environmental surfaces or in synthetic laboratory medium?

∙ 10y ago
Viruses cannot be grown on an ordinary culture medium because they are not actually living organisms, but are more of a microscopic parasite that "lives" and thrives by infecting cells which then infect other cells and so on and so forth. Viruses can be cultured in living cells, however.
Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive. They are nonliving. They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dog’s coat. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They cannot make more viruses on their own.

In what areas of a food production plant might the RODAC plate be used?
ROCAC plate stands for Replicate Organism Direct Agar Contact. This method is used on flat surfaces that are easily accessible. This is used in microbiology, so would be used to genetically modify plants.
What reflective surfaces are there?
A cone has two surfaces.
Why you flaming the inoculating tool before and after each inoculation?
M.O are always present,the air, on laboratory surfaces, benches and equipment.they can serve as a source of external contamination and thus interfere with experiment results unless proper aseptic techniques are used during subculturing.
What type of bacteria can break down oil?
Bacteria that can digest oil clean up environmental pollutants like
What is a wax pencil and how is it used in chemistry?
A wax pencil (or grease pencil) is often used to label test tubes in a laboratory. Wax pencils are used to mark non-porous surfaces, like glass, and are easy to clean off for re-use (with warm, soapy water).
What are the environmental conditions of viruses?
Viruses are not alive and do not have environmental conditions. They require a host cell to replicate and survive. However, they can persist in various environments, such as air, water, and surfaces, depending on factors like temperature, pH, and exposure to sunlight.
What are the best bowls for synthetic?
Do you mean lawn bowls, on an outdoor synthetic surface? I think the only difference is if you prefer that the bowl has significant turn, or plays fairly straight. Most synthetic surfaces are fast surfaces, and playing them well depends more on a gentle touch than the type of bowl.
Which is the best Synthetic Enamel Paint & Coating Manufacturing Company in Ahmedabad?

What is thermal admittance?
This is the rate of flow of heat between the internal surfaces of the structure and the environmental temperature in the space, for each degree of deviation of that temperature about its mean value.
when You should use hand sanitizer?
You can use hand sanitizer after touching surfaces you don't trust. You can use it before touching patients and after. Even before and after you go into the laboratory e t.c
Why do detergents and soap differ?
A detergent is a substance that cleans soiled surfaces. Soap is a type of detergent. But detergent usually refers only to synthetic detergents, which have a different chemical makeup than soap.
What does it mean by that hiv does not trasmit by environment surface?
Environmental surface means a light switch, door knob, faucet, toilet seat, or public telephone. Aids virus lifespan is extremely short on these surfaces, so it is extremely unlikely that someone could contract aids by touching any of these surfaces.
What will melt first an ice cube on a metal surface or an ice cube on a plastic surface?
It all depends on the temperature of the surfaces, the temperature of the air around the surfaces, and other small unavoidable environmental inequities. In theory, however, if the conditions are exactly the same (surfaces same temperature in a vacuum with heat magically applied the the ice cubes in the exact same way with no heat loss to the surfaces) they will melt at the same rate. In reality the circumstances are too variable to test this perfectly though.
How can you kill viruses?
There are numerous products that kill viruses on environmental surfaces, but few that safely attack them in the body. The body's "T helper cells" can signal macrophages to attack some viruses.
