Which type of cell make its own food?
a plant cell containing chloroplsts make its own food
What is the structural difference between a virus or bacteria?
Bacteria are living cells -- cell membrane and all that cell stuff. A virus doesn't own it's own cell; it invades a cell and takes over, using the host cell to make more viruses.
Is chickenpox a heterotroph?
Chickenpox is a virus. It can't make its own food.
What must a virus do to live?
It is questionable whether virus is "alive" or not. If it were alive it wouldn't have to do anything to live, it needn't food or drink. Virus is sometimes considered to be just a more complicated molecule.
What do a chloroplast do in the cell?
It makes it so that the cell can make it's own food.
Can a virus can only reproduce by controlling a cell?
Yes, that's the ony way
Does food provide energy for a virus?
Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive. They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dog’s coat. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They cannot make more viruses on their own. Since they are not alive they do not need food for energy.
Why is a host cell unable to make its own proteins if the invading virus replicates?
The reason why a host cell is unable to make it`s protein while the invading virus replicates is because viruses typically not considered living organisms
Is influenza photosynthetic?
No. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus. Virus particles are not living organisms, they are sub-microscopic particles that are held in a protein package/envelope and contain DNA or RNA that is used to hijack a host animal's cell that they make do the replication for them using the host's cells' energy and materials. They hijack the cell by inserting their DNA/RNA into the host cell and that converts the cell into a virus-producing "factory". Viruses do not have or need their own energy, so they have no need for photosynthesis or food to produce their own energy.
Why is are there no chloroplasts in the animal cell?
bcoz animals do not make their own food
Type of infection in which a host cell makes copies of the virus indefintely?
The Lysogenic Cycle. The virus' DNA will integrate itself into the host cell's own DNA, such that the cell will continue to make copies of the virus for as long as it survives (and if it passes down its DNA to daughter cells).
What does the virus use from the host cell in order to make new viral nucleic acid and?
The virus takes over a cell's DNA and forces it, along with some of the viruses own DNA as a 'blueprint' to make more viruses. Hope this helped!
