Can viruses lives live on their own?
Yes,they live in hosts only to reproduce.
Do viruses grow on dead cells?
Viruses that enter a cell do not die. A virus cannot reproduce on its own so it needs to find a cell in which to live. After the virus is done reproducing, most host cells die.
Where do viuses reproduce?
Viruses are microorganisms unable to live on their own, i.e can only live and reproduce in a living cell.Once they infect a new cell,they take over the entire cell machinery and when released,they kill the infected cell.So,viruses reproduce in Living cells. It's been cedrikstorm,garvey02@yahoo.com
What are substances made from dead viruses?
Vaccines for the prevention of the specific viral infection can be made with inactive "dead" viruses. They are also made with live, but attenuated (weakened), viruses. See more below about vaccines.
Viruses live and breed in what cells?
Viruses cannot live or breed on their own. Instead, they infect the cells of living organisms, such as animals, plants, and bacteria, to replicate and spread. Once inside a host cell, the virus hijacks the cell's machinery to reproduce more viruses.
What structure differentiates from a bacteria?
In terms of what ? I u are asking about bacteria in terms of viruses Bacteria are living and can reproduce themselves While viruses are ghosts they can only live inside a host and also can reproduce inside it Hope i answered u
Why are viruses difficult to culture?
Because viruses need a live host in order to reproduce. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites. Therefore, they cannot reproduce outside their host cell, and therefore die out. They are diffcult to culture because you need something living in order to culture them in, and see the progress.
Why are flu vaccinations produced from dead virus and not live viruses?
In the US there is a flu vaccination made with live viruses that have been weakened (attenuated) to prevent them from making otherwise healthy people sick. This type of vaccine can be used by those who are healthy and aged 2 - 49. It creates a very good immune response to cause immunity and so it can be administered in an intranasal mist that is inhaled into the nose instead of having to be given in a shot. The vaccines for flu that are made to be injected in a shot are made from "dead" viruses or pieces of dead viruses. So flu vaccinations are produced from both "dead" viruses and live viruses.
Why do bacteria grow on gelatin in a peri dish and viruses cannot grow in this manner?
Because viruses are considered nonliving and they need a host to reproduce, therfore they cannot live on their own. Now bacteria can reproduce asexually, so they can get bigger and do not need a host..
Do viruses only reproduce inside living things?
A Virus must invade a host cell in order to reproduce. What people commonly mix up with them is bacteria which has no need to
When do viruses reproduce?
viruses can not reproduce without the help of a living cell(host).they remain inert or dead(in-active) when they are in free environment or outside the body(host).when they enter the living cell or in some cases insert their nucleic acid into the host,it takes over the host's biosynthetic machinery and forces it to reproduce essential viral components and after proper assembly the cell burst and viruses leave the cell to infect other cells
What to viruses reproduce?
