How do viruses spead?
by not washing your hands and being to touchy There are two vectors (means of spreading) viruses: air and surface. Airborne viruses usually are able to survive without a host for longer periods, and are passed by sneezing, coughing, and breathing. Surfaceborne viruses are passed by direct contact. These viruses must come into contact with the mucus membranes of a new host to survive for very long. While the lifespan of a hostless virus is usually short, there are some exceptions. For instance, HIV survives outside the host for only several seconds, however, most strains of hepatitis can survive on a surface without a host for two weeks.
What infectious agents is not living?
Viruses are the only non-biological infectious agents; all otheres are forms of pathogen, which are bacteria.
What infectious agent live only by invading cells?
strict pathogens like Spirochetes only can live in host due there short genome
The only known infectious agents that lack genetic material are A. certain viruses. B. prions. C. viroids. D. none of the above D?
It is B Prions
Does an infectious disease spread only by bacteria?
Infectious diseases spread when bacteria or viruses move from the carrier to others.
Which is the smallest virus infecting human beings?
The human rhinovirus, the virus that causes common colds, is the smallest human-infecting virus, with an average diameter of about 30 nanometers. Other viruses such as smallpox are around 10 times larger, at 300 nanometers.
Why are computer viruses appropriately called viruses?

They get in your files, just like a real-life virus can get in all of your blood cells.So can you see the relation of why they're called viruses?

Whats a virus in biology?
A member of a group of minute infectious agents that have a relatively simple structure and can reproduce only within living cells. Viruses consist of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. They are responsible for many diseases including the common cold, influenza, and AIDS. They are not affected by antibiotics, but many viral diseases can be effectively treated by vaccines. Viruses are not considered living organisms.For the source and more detailed information concerning this subject, click on the related links section (Answers.com) indicated below.
Are viruses cellular organism?
Yes!!, Viruses are non cellular parasitic agents. They are not included in the classification of organisms. They consist of two parts: and outer capsid(composed of proteins) and an inner core of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA). They can only reproduce inside a living cell.
What organic molecules exist in all viruses?
Nucleic acid (varies) and protein.Other infectious particles includes viroid, where there is only a tiny RNA used for infection, and prions, which is an infectious protein.
Do viruses have liquid cytoplasm?
Viruses are not cells, and therefore have no cytoplasm.
Viruses are only active when?
They are active only when they are inside a living host cell.
