How do crystallized viruses retain their properties?
In their DNA or RNA.
Does a vaccine defend againt viruses?
no, only against bacteria and funguses. viruses have different properties to bacteria and funguses.
What are the differences between properties of viruses and properties of organisms?
viruses are on the borderline of living and non living while organisms are living, viruses are simple structured, they have a DNA strand surrounded by a protein coat and sometimes a tail while organisms consist of complex cells
Are viruses living structures based on the 7 properties of life?
No, They do not metabolize, they do not reproduce alone and they do not require sustenance. They are not cells.
What does chlorine kill?
Because chlorine is a powerful oxidant, in high enough concentrations it can kill anything, including viruses. In solution, pH affects the disinfectant properties of chlorine, with different viruses responding differently at different pHs. Also affecting chlorine's disinfectant properties is the presence of impurities in the water which may neutralize the oxidizing properties of chlorine by forming alternate chlorine compounds.
What is difference between viral disease and bacterial disease?
One is caused by bacteria and the other is caused by viruses. Only bacterial diseases can be successfully treated with antibiotics. Bacteria are alive, viruses are not. Viruses invade bacteria and take over their properties, including the ability to infect.
Why is there is debate about the viruses being alive or dead?
The debate is not about whether viruses are alive or dead. Rather, there is debate about whether a virus should be considered a living thing. Viruses are not like living cells, because they do not have metabolic processes, and they cannot reproduce themselves. Instead, they invade a host cell, and the virus's genes cause the host cell to produce new viruses. However, the question of whether this "counts" as being alive is a semantic one. Viruses have some properties of living things, and they lack other properties, so the question of whether they are "alive" comes down to one's definition of the word "life."
What has the author Syed Abdus Sattar written?
Syed Abdus Sattar has written: 'Biological properties of simian virus SV4' -- subject(s): Viruses
What are the medicinal properties of mirabilis jalapa?
kill viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. This plant has many active compounds like triterpenes, proteins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and steroids. A group of amino acid-based proteins called MAPs protect against plant viruses.
How does the immune response to viruses differ from the immune response to bacteria?
It happens as our body do not have anti-bodies [ means the copy of the virus to make a trap for it ], but in bacterial it is done just by destroying as the bacteria do not conquer a tissue or a cell to make their army.
What are the 3 types viruses?
Computer viruses, Macro Viruses, and Directory Viruses
What are the four ways to name a virus?
Major groups of viruses are distinguished first by their nucleic acid content as either RNA or DNA viruses. Subsequent subdivisions are based largely on other properties of nucleic acids. The RNA viruses can be single-stranded (ssRNA) or double-stranded (dsRNA), although most are single-stranded. Because most eukaryotic cells do not have the enzymes to copy viral RNA molecules, the RNA viruses must either carry the enzymes or have the genes for those enzymes as part of their genes. Like RNA viruses, DNA viruses can also occur in single-stranded or double-stranded form.
