What else can I help you with?
True or false viruses are smaller than bacterial cells?
True. Viruses are smaller than bacterial cells. Bacterial cells are living organisms and are much larger in size compared to viruses, which are non-living particles that require a host cell to replicate.
Can some RNA and DNA viruses change healthy cells into cancerous cells?
true
Is it true that viruses have complex membranes that control what moves in and out of their cells?
Viruses do not have complex membranes like eukaryotic organisms have. Viruses also do not have cells, nor are they technically living organisms. There is no need for viruses to control the movement of material in and out of the viral particles.
Is it true that antigenic proteins from certain pathogens can be administered as vaccine's instead of using weekend or killed viruses?
True.
Viruses live and breed in what cells?
Viruses cannot live or breed on their own. Instead, they infect the cells of living organisms, such as animals, plants, and bacteria, to replicate and spread. Once inside a host cell, the virus hijacks the cell's machinery to reproduce more viruses.
Do viruses reproduce inside host cells causing them to burst?
Yes, viruses can reproduce inside host cells by hijacking the host cell's machinery to make copies of themselves. This can cause the host cell to burst, releasing the newly formed viruses to infect other cells.
What is true viruses?
Viruses are cellular parasites.
Are viruses eukaryotes?
No, viruses are not considered to be eukaryotes. They are non-cellular entities that lack many characteristics of living cells, such as the ability to carry out metabolic processes on their own. Instead, viruses rely on host cells to replicate and survive.
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
What all living things is made of cells?
"All living things are made of cells" would be a biological observation, and it's only true if we disqualify viruses.
What is produced by cells infected with viruses?
More viruses. Cells infected with virus DNA are essentially converted into virus factories. Instead of producing the materials the cell needs to reproduce, it produces dormant viruses, until the cell bursts and the new viruses begin infecting other cells.
