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


Do virus have ribosomes?

Viruses do not have ribosomes as a general rule, however there is one confirmed species that does.


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.


Do viruses have a nuclear membrane a cell wall membrane-bound organelles or ribosomes?

No, viruses do not have membrane bound organalles


Name two features that distinguish viruses from bacteria?

All bacteria use their own ribosomes for protein synthesis while all viruses have to use their hosts' ribosomes. All bacteria have their own energy generation mechanisms (cellular respiration or photosynthesis) while all viruses have no intrinsic energy generation mechanisms.


why viruses are acellur?

Viruses are acellular, which means they don't have a cellular structure. As a result, they lack the majority of cell components such as organelles, ribosomes, and the plasma membrane.


Is 70S ribosomes a feature of bacteria?

No, neither viruses or bacteria contain any organelles. Bacteria do not use organelles, they perform all those actions directly in their cytoplasm using unbound enzymes. Viruses are parasites that commandeer the cellular mechanisms for duplicating nucleic acids and making proteins of the infected cell.


What characteristics of a virus?

Viruses multiply within the host cells and give rise to the same genetic types. Viruses show extremely specific intracellular parasitism. They can easily be crystallized and precipitated. Viruses have no cytoplasm,nucleus,membranes,ribosomes,enzymes etc.


How are viruses unlike organisms?

Unlike organisms, viruses are not cellular, nor do they have ribosomes or any other organelles for protein production, energy generation, etc. They cannot capture or store free energy but can only use energy derived from their host. Also, viruses can only reproduce via the host and not on their own.


The sites of protein synthesis are?

Ribosomes


Which is a unique macromolecule present in certain viruses that is a target for antiviral agents a. DNA b. RNA c. reverse transcriptase d. ribosomes?

Reverse transcriptase.


Is there a difference with viruses and cells?

Yes there is a difference. Viruses are non-living and cells are living This is because Viruses can't reproduce on their own without a host. They don't have a metabolism like cells. They can't maintain homeostasis. They cannot synthesize proteins (they lack the ribosomes to do so) without a host. Without a host viruses can neither generate nor store ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Viruses cannot live unless they have a host.
