What do bacteriophages obtain from host cells?
Bacteriophages obtain nutrients and energy from host cells in order to replicate. They also hijack the host cell's cellular machinery to produce new viral particles.
What is the vocabulary term for the metabolic machinery of a cell?
the vocabulary is cellular metabolism(anbolism and catabolism).
What does phage DNA do once inside the host cell?
Once inside the host cell, phage DNA utilizes the host cell's machinery to replicate itself. It takes over the cellular processes and redirects them towards the production of new phages. The phage DNA is transcribed and translated to synthesize the necessary components for phage assembly, ultimately resulting in the formation of progeny phages inside the host cell.
Can a virus replicate outside a living cell?
What we need to understand is, viruses do not have its own synthetic machinery such as ribosomes to make proteins. Hence they are completely dependent on the host synthetic machinery for their replication. Virus infects the host cells, integrate its genetic material with the host to produce progeny viral particles.
Which of the cellular organisms are attacked by Viruses?
It depends on the virus. Viruses may have a very specific host range.
What do bacteriophages obtain from host cells?
Bacteriophages obtain nutrients and energy from host cells in order to replicate. They also hijack the host cell's cellular machinery to produce new viral particles.
What property would indicate that the particle is a virus and not a bacterium?
Absence of cellular machinery
How often does the cellular machinery that replicates DNA insert an incorrect base?
not often
Vitamins are components of what?
the Cellular machinery that creates and maintains Life - please see Biochemistry.
What is the vocabulary term for the metabolic machinery of a cell?
the vocabulary is cellular metabolism(anbolism and catabolism).
Need by a visrus in order to reprooduce?
a host cell so that the virus is able to use the host's cell machinery to replicate
What is an aggresome?
An aggresome is a proteinaceous inclusion body which forms when cellular degradation machinery is impaired or overwhelmed.
What does phage DNA do once inside the host cell?
Once inside the host cell, phage DNA utilizes the host cell's machinery to replicate itself. It takes over the cellular processes and redirects them towards the production of new phages. The phage DNA is transcribed and translated to synthesize the necessary components for phage assembly, ultimately resulting in the formation of progeny phages inside the host cell.
What uses an infected host cell's genetic and metabolic machinery for reproduction and assembly?
a virus
Which features suggests that viruses are non-living microbes?
They replicate using a host cell's metabolic machinery.
Why is virus harmful?
virus is a non cellular it require to reproduce the materials of their host cell and they have those material on their structure which is harmful for the host cell.
Are viruses chemosynthetic photosynthetic or parasitic or can they be all of the above?
The closest answer is parasitic since certain viruses harm the host cell in order to replicate and survive (not all viruses do, though). Chemosynthetic and photosynthetic would imply that viruses themselves contain the necessary biological machinery to carry out cellular functions, which they don't.
