Can bacteria get a viris?
yes bacteria can get a virus. A virus is a pathogen that invades the host cell, changing the make up the bacteria.
What is a parasite bacteria or virus?
A parasite is an organism that lives in or on another organism (the host) and benefits from the relationship at the expense of the host. Bacteria and viruses can both be parasites, depending on their interactions with the host organism.
Is lytic cycle a virus or a bacteria?
The lytic cycle is a process that viruses use to replicate within a host cell. It is not a characteristic of bacteria.
What is a difference between bacteria and virus that shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses are not?
Bacteria are not dependent on a host. :)
Is Ebola a bacteria fungus or bacteriaor virus?
It is not. HIV is a virus. It has a completely different make-up from a bacteria. The most important difference between a bacteria and a virus is that a virus does not have the ability to replicate on its own. It needs a host, another cell, to reproduce, unlike bacteria which can reproduce on their own.
A virus that infects bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages inject their genetic material into the bacteria and use the host's machinery to replicate. They are being studied for potential use in treating bacterial infections in humans.
Do fungi pass viruses and bacteria to the host?
They can but don't always.
What are examples of ectoparasite?
Ectoparasites feed on a living host from inside of it. eg. bacteria, virus's
What is a host cell for a virus?
A host cell for a virus is a cell that the virus can infect and hijack to replicate itself. The virus enters the host cell, takes over its machinery to produce more virus particles, and then spreads to infect other cells.
Virus bacteria or fungi which is the smallest?
A virus is typically the smallest of these three biological entities, as it is much smaller than bacteria and fungi. Viruses are even smaller than the smallest bacteria and fungi, and can only replicate inside the cells of a living host organism.
What is a virus called that invades bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages are specific to infecting bacterial cells and can inject their genetic material into the host bacterium, leading to replication and eventual destruction of the bacterial cell.
How does a virus sustain life in its host?
First things first a virus is not living. The virus injects its Genetic material (G.M. for short) and and makes the bacteria make more viruses.
