What is the tail of a bacteriophage specialized for?
Landing on a bacterium and inserting the viruses genetic material into the bacterium.
How long do viruses to reproduce?
When its host cell makes more copies of the virus
Did viruses have all the characteristics of living things?
Viruses share a few characteristics with living organisms but not many, viruses are essentially just chains of proteins. They contain genetic information but they do not have any cellular stucture as most other forms of life do. The average virus about one one-hundredth the size of the average bacterium and viruses do not have their own metabolism but require a host cell.
What is influenza bacterium or virus?
It is a type of bacteria that can cause pneumonia. Although the name sounds like influenza, it is unrelated to the flu, which is caused by viruses and not bacteria.
Who Bacteria or viruses invisible to the naked eye?
Bacteria are visible. The plaque on your teeth, or such foods as cheese is mostly bacteria, and you can see it. Though, these are millions of bacteria in a clump, and you can only see the clump, not the individual bacterium. So, if you are looking at one bacterum, only the largest bacterium can be seen with the naked human eye, since they are single-celled organisms. However, for most bacterium, you need visual enhancers, such as a microscope, to see a single specimine, because most types of bacteria are too small for the naked human eye.
What is the smallest ribosome mitochondrion virus bacterium or protein?
Ribosomes are the smallest between mitochondria, viruses, bacterium, and protein. Ribosomes are the building blocks of mitochondria, viruses, bacterium, and proteins.
What is the tail of a bacteriophage specialized for?
Landing on a bacterium and inserting the viruses genetic material into the bacterium.
What diseases are not caused by bacterium?
viruses, genetic conditions etc
Do bacteria and virous have a nucleus?
Both bacteria and viruses are prokaryotic, which means they do not contain a nucleus. Both viruses and bacterium are not cells.
What are the similarities between viruses and ribosomes?
Ribosomes are made up of cellular skeletal components viruses are essentially prokaryotic bacterium which had mutated during evolution
What are the four types of pathogens?
The four type of pathogens are bacterium, protists, viruses, and fungi. Parasitic worms are NOT pathogens.
What are microscopic free floating animals?
Bacterium, perhaps dust mites, and, arguably, viruses.
How do hidden viruses multiply?
1. A virus attaches to a bacterium. 2. The virus injects its genetic material. 3. The genetic material of the virus combines with the bacterium's genetic material. 4. The virus's genetic material detaches from the bacterium's genetic material and the bacterium produces the virus's proteins and genetic material. 5. New viruses assemble. 6. The bacterium bursts open, releasing new viruses.
What are three shapes of viruses?
For computer viruses, they have no physical shape, they are a string or program of codes that are made to effect files Regular viruses have a shape, but they are not needed as they dont effect what they do. Viruses just look like any bacterium, or in a spiderlike form.
What shapes do virus assume?
Viruses can be helical and icosahedral forms or even more complex structures. Most viruses are about one one-hundredth the size of the average bacterium.
What organism produces disease?
bacterium Not all bacteria produce disease, viruses do too. It would be called a pathogen.
Is measles an example of a disease caused by a bacterium?
Measles and mumps are caused by viruses, not bacteria.
