What are the features of Viruses?

1. Viruses are a cellular, non-cytoplasmic infectious agents. 2. They are smaller than bacteria, and this can pass through bacteriological filter. 3. Viruses are transmissible from disease to healthy organisms. 4.All viruses are obligate parasites and can multiply only within the living host cells. 5.Viruses contain only a single type of nucleic acid either DNA or RNA. 6. Viruses are host specific that they infect only a single species and definite cells of the host organisms. 7. Viruses are effective in very small doses. They are highly resistant to germicides and extremes of physical conditions.


Do mushrooms make their own food if not how does it take food?

Most fungi work with plants in their environment to feed and exchange food. Fungi will frequently pass sugars to the host plant whilst feedin on water from the host. MOst fungi rely on the decay of materials to form tendrals which absorbe salts and sugars from the rotting product.


What are the things that can pass across the placenta to the fetus?

Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide, Nutritions and alcohol can pass. And only one type of antibodies can pass which is the IgG. Viruses can pass like HIV and HBV (Hepatitis B virus) that's why the affected mothers usually have affected babies.


Why can a porcelain filter catch all bacteria but viruses go through?

Porcelain filters have small pores that can physically trap bacteria as they are larger in size. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and can pass through the pores of the porcelain filter. Specialized filters or treatments are needed to effectively remove viruses from water.


Why are there no bacteria or viruses in urine?

Urine is typically sterile when it leaves the body because the bladder and urinary tract are normally free of bacteria and viruses. However, bacteria can be introduced from external sources during collection or if there is an infection present in the urinary tract.


Why are viral infections more difficult to treat than bacterial infections?

That is a difficult one. It depends on the virus and the bacteria. Most viruses cause self-limiting diseases, that are treated with supportive measurements. Other viruses, such as Influenza, Cytomegalovirus and Herpes, and HIV, can be treated with specific drugs. There are different drugs that treat different types of bacteria, with more or less success. But remember that viruses and bacteria are live organisms, and they can and do develop resistance to the drugs that kill them. Even more, bacteria can even pass on the learned resistance to other bacteria.


What are two ways viruses are like living things?

The only characteristic of a living thing that is shared by viruses is genetic material, either DNA or RNA. They do not reproduce, their genetic information hijacks a living cell's machinery, and turns the cell into a virus factory, this is called replication. They do not require food. Some viruses have moving parts that allow them to inject their genetic material into the host cell.

Who invented the term virus?

The term "virus" was first used in 1599 by Dutch scientist and microscopist, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, to describe infectious agents that pass through filters designed to trap bacteria. However, it was only in the late 19th century that viruses were recognized as distinct entities from bacteria.


Can cold viruses survive in freezing temperatures?

Yes. A virus must have a host cell (bacteria, plant or animal cell) in which to live and make more viruses. Outside of a host cell, viruses cannot function. So if you sneeze on a park bench, the virus will most probably die in a few minutes (depending on environmental conditions- some viruses have been known to stay alive on a park bench for up to 2 hrs), but if you sneeze on a persons face and the moist air is inhaled through your nose or mouth, or even a break in the skin, the virus has a direct pathway- from substance to substance- to pass on and thrive.
