What infectious agent live only by invading cells?
Viruses are infectious agents that can only replicate and survive by invading host cells and hijacking their cellular machinery. Once inside a host cell, viruses use the cell's resources to produce more viral particles, which can then go on to infect other cells. This process ultimately leads to the destruction of the host cell as new viruses are released to infect additional cells.
Are viruses smaller than eukaryotic cells?
Yes, viruses are smaller than eukaryotic cells.
List prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells and viruses in order of increasing complexity?
Viruses, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells. Viruses are the simplest, consisting of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat. Prokaryotic cells are more complex, with no membrane-bound organelles and a simpler structure than eukaryotic cells, which are the most complex with membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus.
Do viruses need oxygen to live?
No, viruses are not living organisms and do not require oxygen to survive. They are simply comprised of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed within a protein coat, and they rely on host cells to reproduce.
Are viruses called cells?
No, viruses are not considered cells because they lack the cellular structures and organelles found in living cells. Viruses are small infectious agents that rely on host cells to replicate and are typically classified as acellular entities.
What live only by invading cells?
Viruses
Can a virus live in extreme condition?
Viruses can live in host cells :P trolled.
Where would viruses most likely grow?
Viruses can only live in living organisms (viruses themselves are not actually living). They might infect cells in our body, such as throat cells (infection of throat cells causes sore throat).
ARE Viruses are a type of cell?
The type of cells that viruses live in are host cells. Viruses need host cells in order to reproduce or multiply.

Are viruses old prehistoric cells or are they highly evolved cells?
viruses dont have cells
Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
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.
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.
Where do bacteria and viruses live?
Viruses live almost everywhere around us in places such as the soil and air.Different viruses may infect plants,animals or even bacteria .Viruses try to gain access to the machinery in the cell in order to make more viruses.
Is genetic material found in both cells and viruses?
Yes, both viruses and cells have DNA.
Are viruses made up of tissues?
No, tissues are made up of cells and viruses are not even cells.
