What is The name of the pathogenic organism that causes aids?
HIV- Human Immunodeficiency Virus *HIV is not a pathogenic organism, but a virus. To be an organism it must be able to replicate on its own, which it cannot. It needs a host to do so.
What must reproduce inside a virus?
Nothing reproduces inside a virus. It has to latch on the a host cell and insert its' DNA or RNA and then make the host cell reproduce virus particles.
Can you get Hiv by tasting a tiny amount of someone else blood and if they don't have Hiv?
No, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus is not caused by coming in contact with another person's blood. Like any bloodborne illness, the other person's blood must be already infected with the virus in order to transmit it.
Why do virus do not fit into your concept of cell?
a virus has no metabolism.a virus cannot reproduce independently, it must infect a cell.a virus is much smaller than a cell.
How does the flu reproduce and survive in the human body?
To continue to replicate and exist, a flu virus must be in a host animal's cells. They can be grown in cultures (and eggs) for creating vaccines, but need a living host for long term activity and to "live".
Which microorganisns cannot multiply on their own?
Viruses cannot reproduce on their own. They must invade and infect other cells in order to be able to reproduce.
Does virus reproduce artificially?
Viruses must be produced in a host cell. They can be produced in vitro (in glass) if there are host cells in there first.
What is the name for a package of nucleic acid wrapped in a protein coat that must use a host cell's machinery to reproduce itself?
A virus.
Why cant a virus replicate its own DNA?
Because they don't have the metabolism or apparatus to do so. They lack ribossomes, rough endoplasmatic reticulum, a cell... They must infect a cell that has a means to reproduce itself in order to reproduce.
Why would a coder want to take special precaution when coding the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome?
Other than the fact that a medical coder should always take precaution in properly coding conditions, perhaps the concern is mixing the two conditions. HIV and AIDS are not the same medical problem. Being HIV positive means that you have been infected with the virus. Having AIDS means that you have the HIV virus, but you have developed a medical condition as a result. AIDS is more serious than simply having HIV. People commonly use the two words interchangably. However, we must be careful, both in medical coding and in every day usage, not to confuse the two.
Can viruses break into body cells to reproduce?
Viruses first much attach to the host cell, they then must be adsorbed by way of special sites that recognize the virus. After adsorption, penetration occurs and the virus is taken into the cell. It uncoates and begins the process of synthesis of its' own genetic materials and proteins. The next step is maturation or assembly of the virus into its' mature form. The virus fills the cell and begins to leave by "budding". It begins the cycle again by infecting more cells.
Must every member of a particular species be able to reproduce in order for the species for survive?
Not necessarily.Take the example of Homo sapiens (Human beings).Around the world, a LARGE number of women may be infertile (cannot reproduce) or will not be willing to reproduce.Despite the fact that many do not reproduce, you continue to see many human beings.
