Are viruses multicellular or unicellular?

Viruses are considered acellular entities because they are not composed of cells like living organisms. They are made up of genetic material (RNA or DNA) enclosed in a protein coat, and they require a host cell to replicate.


How could a multicellular organism use lysosomes as a defense against viruses like AIDS?

A multicellular organism could use lysosomes to degrade and remove viral particles, preventing them from infecting healthy cells. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down foreign materials, including viruses, and can help in the intracellular defense mechanism against infections like AIDS. By fusing lysosomes with the vesicles containing viruses, the organism can effectively neutralize and eliminate the threat posed by the virus.

Do all germs and viruses belong to unicellular or multicellular cells?

Firstly, viruses aren't cells. They're nucleic acids packaged in proteins. They can infect and reproduce themselves unicellular or multi-cellular organisms, depending on which virus you're talking about. Influenza, for example, is a virus that can reproduce in humans (multicellular organisms). Phage lambda, meanwhile, infects bacteria (unicellular organisms). 'Germs' is a bit of a catch-all term. Most infectious organisms are unicellular, bacteria, protists and so on.


Is a virus multicellular?

A virus is a no-cellular organism. Some may argue the point of viruses being living or dead, but all concede that cells and viruses share little in structure. Cells are membrane bound. If a virus has a membrane it took it fro a cell it erupted from. Cell grow and reproduce on their own, plus they metabolize on their own. Viruses need a " parasitic " relationship with cells to do any of these things.

Is pneumonia unicellular or Multicellular?

Pneumonia is an illness (inflammation of the lung) and can have a number of potential causes. Most common are infections by viruses (e.g. influenza virus or adenovirus) or bacteria (e.g. Streptococcus pneumoniae). These are unicellular organisms. However in some cases pneumonia can be caused by parasites like the hookworm. These are multicellular.
