How are Biological Viruses and Computer viruses alike?

Computer viruses can infect a file much like a Biological virus can infect a cell, they then spread from file to file or cell to cell.


Do viruses have cells?

No. Being that viruses are not a living organism, they are neither contain cells, nor are they a cell themselves. Viruses are merely few macromolecules (such as nucleic acid and protein) which combines to form a pathogenic particle.See the Related Link. Opinions differ on whether viruses are a form of life, or organic structures that interact with living organisms. They have been described as "organisms at the edge of life".no


What is the movement of viral particles through the plasmodesmata?

This is how plant viruses spread from one cell to another. They use specially produced transport proteins to help them do this.


What do viruses need to carry on?

Viruses need a host cell to be able to multiply. Once they get attached to the cell membrane or cell wall 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.


Explain how a living cell can become a virus factory?

A virus attaches itself to a living cell and injects its DNA into the cell. Then this cell will produce new viruses. Eventually this cell will explode and release new viruses to attack the other cells

How are viruses spread cell to cell?

Does cells have viruses?

cells are not made with viruses unless the virus gets into the cell itself. The viruses get into the cell and the virus will spread killing off whatever it can ;)

How are viruses NOT spread to plants?

Plants have stronger cells walls. And viruses do spread to plants.


Which best describes how common cold spread in the human body?

viruses replicate inside respiratory cells.


What viruses are spread by email?

Some computer viruses.


What is the most common viruses spread by email?

Macro viruses


What is produced by cells infected with viruses?

More viruses. Cells infected with virus DNA are essentially converted into virus factories. Instead of producing the materials the cell needs to reproduce, it produces dormant viruses, until the cell bursts and the new viruses begin infecting other cells.


Are viruses non cellular organisms?

Viruses are non-living just like a rock is. Since they are not cells, they can not be alive. However, they can "hijack" a living cell. They have either DNA or RNA which allows this hijacking to occur. By doing this, they can make the host cell make more viruses just like them. This causes the virus to spread.

Viruses make the host cell produce new viruses which kills th host cell?

Active Viruses


Does virus makes the cell it is in produce more viruses?

Yes, viruses use the cell that it has invaded to produce more viruses.
