What kind of organism does a bacteriophage attack?

Answer 1

Viruses invade all types of cells - but they are very specific. One (or more) type(s) of virus for each cell. The ones that take over bacteria are called phages ... but they are viruses. They "attack" anything with DNA.

Answer 2

Bacteriophages specifically infect bacteria by injecting their genetic material into the bacterial cell and using the bacterial machinery to replicate.

Answer 3

In theory, any organism larger than a virus.

Answer 4

A virus may attack any cell in a tissue ( a group of cells that perform one function) and change its function to making more cells.

Answer 5

By the toxic substances produced by them, they attack certain parts of the body.

For example:HIV attacks immune system of the body.

Answer 6

Cells that can be invaded by viruses (also known as host cells) include T-cells, mucous membrane cells, nerve cells, and malignant cells.

Answer 7

ALL living organisms can become infected with viruses.

Answer 8

This is a virus that eats bacteria. Bacterio = bacteria + -phage = eater. They do not actually eat bacteria as they are not alive. They carry DNA or RNA which takes over the cell killing it.

Answer 9

It depends on the virus.
