What else can I help you with?
Cells are the basic unit of life Viruses differ from cells in many key ways what is a feature of viruses but not cells?
One key feature of viruses that is not found in cells is the lack of a cellular structure or organelles. Viruses are composed of genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat, whereas cells have a complex structure with membrane-bound organelles.
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
Do prokaryotic cells have a Protein Capsid?
No, prokaryotic cells do not have a protein capsid. Protein capsids are a characteristic feature of viruses, which are non-living entities that infect cells. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, are living organisms that do not possess a protein capsid.
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.
Are viruses smaller than eukaryotic cells?
Yes, viruses are smaller than eukaryotic cells.
Do viruses feature a capsid?
Yes, viruses typically have a capsid, which is a protein coat that surrounds and protects their genetic material. The capsid plays a crucial role in facilitating the virus' entry into host cells and in protecting the viral genome from degradation.
Why do you classify viruses as obligatory intracellular parasite?
Viruses need living cells to produce more viruses. They are obliged to use living cells.
Are viruses made of a cell or cells?
well viruses are caused by bacteria and bacteria are cells. so yes
Are viruses made out of a cell or cells?
well viruses are caused by bacteria and bacteria are cells. so yes
When body cells are attacked by viruses they produce what?
INTERFERON is a substance produced by body cells when they are attacked by viruses.
