What infectious agent live only by invading cells?
strict pathogens like Spirochetes only can live in host due there short genome
List prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells and viruses in order of increasing complexity?
viruses, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells
What do cells have that viruses do not?
Viruses are made up of a strand of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) and sometimes have a protein coat protecting it. Viruses lack many of the components normally associated with cells such as a cell membrane and cytoplasm.
Do viruses have liquid cytoplasm?
Viruses are not cells, and therefore have no cytoplasm.
Why viruses are difficult to classify as living organisms?
It is because viruses are not made up of cells
What live only by invading cells?
Viruses
Can a virus live in extreme condition?
Viruses can live in host cells :P trolled.
What infectious agent live only by invading cells?

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
List prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells and viruses in order of increasing complexity?
viruses, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic 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.
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.
