Do bacteria and virus spread the same way?
Viral and bacterial infections are both spread in basically the same ways. A person with a cold can spread the infection by coughing and/or sneezing. Bacteria or viruses can be passed on by touching or shaking hands with another person.Feb 5, 2014Found on Netdocter.
Which microbes are prevented from spreading and how these ways work?
viruses
What is the first step in identifying bacteria?
There are many ways to identify an unknown bacteria. The method to identify depends on tools available and setting. A medical setting has different identification process than an educational setting. Both places would usually begin with a gram stain. A gram positive bacteria would appear purple under a microscope, whereas gram negative would appear orange. Another way to identify bacteria would be to choose different agar plates to grow the bacteria. The presence of bacterial growth on different media helps to identify the unknown bacteria.
What is one way that bacteria and archaea are the same?
They are both prokaryotes They are both unicellular.(apex)
How do you stop bacteria from multiplying?
Bacteria grows rapidly and there a ways and one of the main ways to stop them from multiplying is to kill them with alcohol or chemicals
What are two ways viruses cause infection?
by spreading bacteria
How do bacterium and viruses affect the body?
Bacteria and viruses attack the body. Each type of bacteria and virus attack different areas of the body. Also, there are many different ways of gaining access to the body. They attack the body by trying to shut down a certain system, which without your immune system, would kill you. Bacteria and viruses evolve. However, viruses aren't presently categorized as living organisms.
What are four ways that viruses are like living things?
Viruses are living things, but very strange: they barely make the list of life.1. Viruses do not eat or give off waste.2. Viruses do not grow.3. Viruses cannot reproduce on their own: they have to hijack cells since they don't have the equipment themselves.4. Viruses are a whole lot smaller than even bacteria: an influenza virus is ten times shorter than a Strepoccocus bacterium that causes strep throat.

What type of genetic recombination in bacteria involves DNA transfer by viruses?
There are many ways that genetic recombination could occur in bacteria. One way that it occurs is because of habitat.
What are the effect of bacilli viruses?
Bacilli viruses are simply viruses that have a rod-like shape to them. Recently, one of the bacilli viruses has become very famous; Bacillus anthracis which is a bacterium that is commonly known anthrax. This deadly bacteria is dangerous because of its ability to produce endospores which is how bacteria protect themselves, giving them a longer life. Many bio-weapons use bacilli viruses and these can kill humans in various ways.
How are viruses and bacteria and the same?
No. viruses are smaller and can only reproduce inside another living cellbacteria are bigger and can reproduce unaided. Also, viruses are nonliving.No. Bacteria are living single-celled organisms, while viruses are non-living, they consist of a string of DNA or RNA inside a protein coat.
What three ways are viruses different from cells?
Viruses are acellular; they are not composed of a cell, and therefore are not alive. Bacteria are composed of a single cell and therefore are considered living.Viruses are very much smaller around 10x than the average bacteria and are composed of little more than DNA or RNA (retro-viruses ex HIV) and a protective cover. Bacteria are prokaryotes meaning they have no membrane bound cellular organs but are more complex in structure than the virus.Viruses replicate by invasion of a host cell integrating it's DNA/RNA into the host and having the host translate protein products to create new viruses which rupture through the cell wall of the host often stealing a membrane from the host in the process. This means all viruses must reproduce on/in something alive(biotic).Bacteria reproduce by cell division. Bacteria do not have to have biotics to reproduce, they can reproduce in any suitable environment where growth is not limited.I know that they are different because viruses are 10,000 times smaller than bacteria, antiboitics cannot kill viruses like they kill bacteria, and viruses need a living host to reproduce when bacteria produces on its own by binary fission.
What are three ways that antibodies help fight infections?
1. agglutination of particulate matter, including bacteria and viruses, 2. opsonisation or coating over bacteria to facilitate recognition and phagocytosis by the phagocytes and 3. neutralization of toxins released by bacteria.
What are the three different ways to classify bacteria?
There shape, if they need oxygen, and where they live.
How are plant and animal cells different than plant cells?
The cells of bacteria are different from those of plants and animals in many ways, the most obvious of which is that bacteria lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles (except ribosomes). Unlike animals and plants, bacteria have pili, flagella, and most have a cell capsule.
Why rna virus is more mutant than dna virus?
during replication RNA-polimeraze it make a lot of erros.In this ways RNA viruses it mutate faster than DNa viruses.
