What are pathogens that need living cells in order to reproduce called?
Viruses need living cells for reproduction .
Viruses live and breed in what cells?
viruses live and breed inside cells
List prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells and viruses in order of increasing complexity?
viruses, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells
What do cells have that viruses do not?
Viruses are made up of a strand of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) and sometimes have a protein coat protecting it. Viruses lack many of the components normally associated with cells such as a cell membrane and cytoplasm.
Do viruses have liquid cytoplasm?
Viruses are not cells, and therefore have no cytoplasm.
Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
What are pathogens that need living cells in order to reproduce called?
Viruses need living cells for reproduction .
Are viruses old prehistoric cells or are they highly evolved cells?
viruses dont have cells
Phagocytic cells that occupy the epidermis are called?
The epidermis contains phagocytic cells called DENDRITIC CELLS. The slender, fingerlike processes of dendritic cells extend among the surrounding cells, forming an almost continuous network to intercept invaders.
What do the T-cells do?
If im correct, helper t-cells activate: b-cells that mark viruses and make them stick together, killer t-cells --which attack macrophages and infected cells, and memory b-cells, which remember how to stop viruses, this i believe is called active immunity
Viruses live and breed in what cells?
viruses live and breed inside cells
Which blood cells fight bacteria and viruses?

What are these molecules called that protect potential host cells?
Antibodies protect potential host cells. They act against bacteria and viruses.
Paritcle of nucleic acid and protein that can reproduce only by infecting living cells?
These are called viruses.
