Lysosomes contain enzymes which function where?
Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes. These enzymes break down large food particles, worn out organelles, or intruders in a cell (e.g. bacteria, viruses). Hydrolytic enzymes work best in the acidic environment that the lysosome provides.
What are the features of Viruses?
1. Viruses are a cellular, non-cytoplasmic infectious agents. 2. They are smaller than bacteria, and this can pass through bacteriological filter. 3. Viruses are transmissible from disease to healthy organisms. 4.All viruses are obligate parasites and can multiply only within the living host cells. 5.Viruses contain only a single type of nucleic acid either DNA or RNA. 6. Viruses are host specific that they infect only a single species and definite cells of the host organisms. 7. Viruses are effective in very small doses. They are highly resistant to germicides and extremes of physical conditions.
What is present within the mitochondria that allows the reaction to occur?
Enzymes.
Why do viruses typically affect only one or a few species?
Viruses attack animals, plants, fungi, protists, and bacteria. Some viruses can infect only specific kinds of cells. For instance, many viruses, such as the potato leaf-roll virus, are limited to one host species or to one type of tissue within that species. A few viruses affect a broad range of hosts. An example of this is the rabies virus. Rabies can infect humans and many other animal hosts.
What does the wrong pH do to the shape of an enzyme?
It will affect the shape and lead to reduced activity.
What characteristics of a virus?
Viruses multiply within the host cells and give rise to the same genetic types. Viruses show extremely specific intracellular parasitism. They can easily be crystallized and precipitated. Viruses have no cytoplasm,nucleus,membranes,ribosomes,enzymes etc.
What are the steps the virus pertussis uses to reproduce?
In general, viruses go through the following five 1. Adsorption, the attachment of viruses to host cells. 2. Penetration, the entry of virions (or their genome) into host cells. 3. Synthesis, the synthesis of new nucleic acid molecules, capsid proteins, and other viral components within host cells while using the metabolic machinery of those cells. 4. Maturation, the assembly of newly synthesized viral components into complete virions. 5. Release, the departure of new virions from host cells. Release generally, but not always, kills (lyses) host cells.
Lysosomes contain chemical substance called?
Lysosomes contain specific chemical enzymes within them that is called "Proteins".
Lysosomes contain enzymes which function where?

Why do antibodies work to kill bacteria but not viruses?
bacteria is complit cell or contain cellular material hence specific antibody riquar as compair to virus is difrance
Only small amounts of enzymes are required for reactions within cells because enzymes are?
Only small amounts of enzymes are required for reactions within cells because enzymes are reused.
How do chemical reactions occur at the relatively low temperature found within Cells?
They occur under the strict and highly specific action of Enzymes.

What do you call catalysts within living things?
Enzymes
What is a viral species?
A viral species means that it is caused by a virus, which is non-living and contains genetic material within a protein capsule. Most viruses are not treated because unlike bacterial species, there is no antibiotics even though specific viruses can be treated with certain chemicals.
What is present within the mitochondria that allows the reaction to occur?
Enzymes.
What is present within the mitochondrion that allows the reaction to occur?
ENZYMES
