True or false viruses multiply the same way as other organism?

FALSE Although viruses can multiply, they do so differently than organisms. Viruses can multiply only when they are inside a living cell. The organism that a virus enters and multiplies inside is called a host. A host is an organism that provides a source of energy for a virus or another organism. A virus acts like parasite, an organism that lives on or in a host and causes it harm. Almost all viruses destroy the cells in which they multiply CREDIT FROM: NORTH CAROLINA 8TH GRADE PRENTICE HALL SCIENCE EXPLORER


Do bacteria and viruses inhabit the same place in the cells?

Bacteria do not inhabit cells. Bacteria are one celled organisms that can live apart from other cells given the right environment (ie. food source, oxygen if an aerobic organism). Viruses, on the other hand, must invade a cell in order to multiply. Viruses use the cell's own internal "machinery" to reproduce to high numbers. At that point they break free from the host cell and go on to invade other cells.


Is a virus an example of matter?

Yes. Viruses are made of the same substances that living organisms are.


What way are all living organisms on Earth similar?

All organisms use the same genetic code.Living organisms are made of the same components as all other matter, organisms that inhabit the earth at any one time they are all assembled from a nucleic acid code


What is bacteria made out of?

Bacteria are not made of micro organisms or viruses, bacteria ARE a type of micro organism, but they are in fact a living entity in it's own right, they multiply to form colonies, that's when you start to get symptoms when you have a bacterial infection because there are too many bacteria in you blood stream for the body to effectively fight off, viruses are not in the same category as bacteria.


Do viruses multiply the same way as other organism's?

no


What characteristics of a virus?

Viruses multiply within the host cells and give rise to the same genetic types. Viruses show extremely specific intracellular parasitism. They can easily be crystallized and precipitated. Viruses have no cytoplasm,nucleus,membranes,ribosomes,enzymes etc.


What are the features of Viruses?

1. Viruses are a cellular, non-cytoplasmic infectious agents. 2. They are smaller than bacteria, and this can pass through bacteriological filter. 3. Viruses are transmissible from disease to healthy organisms. 4.All viruses are obligate parasites and can multiply only within the living host cells. 5.Viruses contain only a single type of nucleic acid either DNA or RNA. 6. Viruses are host specific that they infect only a single species and definite cells of the host organisms. 7. Viruses are effective in very small doses. They are highly resistant to germicides and extremes of physical conditions.


What do you do when you have to multiply or divide two quantities by the same number?

You multiply or divide the first quantity by the number and then you do the same for the other quantity.


If two organisms belong to the same family what other taxnomic groups do the organisms have in common?

Define the term Species. If two organisms belong to the same family, what other classification levels do they have in common with one another. They also belong to the same kingdom, phylum, class and order.


Can a person have two viruses at the same time?

Yes, he can. One infection does not protect against the other. Viruses can even interbreed in your cells.
