What else can I help you with?
These pathogens cannot reproduce on their own and they must invade other cells to multiply?
Viruses
Viruses depend on living things for what?
Viruses depend on living cells because they reproduce inside of them.
Viruses can reproduce only inside what?
host cells!
What particles reproduce that are made up of nucleic acids proteins and sometimes lipids only infecting living cells?
Viruses are particles that reproduce by infecting living cells. They consist of nucleic acids, proteins, and sometimes lipids.
Do viruses reproduce inside host cells causing them to burst?
Yes, viruses can reproduce inside host cells by hijacking the host cell's machinery to make copies of themselves. This can cause the host cell to burst, releasing the newly formed viruses to infect other cells.
What are two activities that are characteristic of cell but not of viruses?
Cell division and protein synthesis are activities that are characteristic of cells but not viruses. Cells can undergo mitosis or meiosis to reproduce, while viruses rely on host cells to replicate. Cells contain the machinery for protein synthesis, while viruses hijack the host cell's machinery for their own replication.
Why would viruses not grow on milk?
Viruses require living cells to replicate and grow. Milk does not contain living cells, so viruses cannot infect or reproduce in milk. Additionally, milk has natural defense mechanisms, such as enzymes and antibodies, that can inhibit the growth of viruses.
Do viruses break into bodies cells to reproduce?
Yes, viruses need to enter a host cell in order to reproduce. They do this by binding to receptors on the cell surface and then tricking the cell into letting them inside. Once inside, the virus hijacks the cell's machinery to make copies of itself.
What are viruses hidden in?
Cells, they reproduce by invading a cell and using its functions to make more viruses, eventually killing a cell. That's why viruses are bad, and that where they "hide".
How are viruses harmful to living cells?
Viruses can reproduce very quickly. When reproducing they enter a living cell and they inject their genetic material.
Can virus reproduce on decaying fruit?
Viruses can reproduce themselfs only in living cells.Dacaying fruits are composed most of dieds cells.
What are in viruses?
They don't belong to a kingdom because they are not cells. They are just genetic material wrapped in proteins that reproduce inside of cells.
