What type of organism requires a host cell?
viruses
Unlike lytic viruses lysogenic viruses do what?
lyse the host cell right away
What do viruses have to rely on for replication?
They rely on their host. They can not reproduce on their own, so they are not considered living. They inject genetic information into a host cell and make the cell produce more viruses.
What are Viruses that immediately take over a cell's functions called?
A virus the immediately takes over a cell's functions is an active virus. An active virus causes the host cell to make new viruses, destroying the host cell.
What must viruses rely on for replication?
they must find a host cell in the infected body and take it over to force it to replicate
What type of organism requires a host cell?
viruses
What is the difference between obligate and facultative parasites?
An obligate parasite can only live inside a cell. This includes viruses and intracellular bacteria. A facultative parasite can live inside or outside of a cell.
Is a grasshopper a parasite or host?
Both. They eat plants, so they are a parasite. They can be infected with viruses, so they can be a host too.
Are viruses parasitic?
Yes because all the viruses uses host cell mechanisms to reproduce and then at the end of the reproduction process it destroy the host cell.Therefore there is no non-parasitic viruses.All viruses are parasitic.
How does a herpes virus get energy?
Like other viruses, herpes is an obligate intracellular parasite. It gets its energy from the host cell's ATP.
Viruses make the host cell produce new viruses which kills th host cell?
Active Viruses
Do Most DNA viruses multiply in the host cell's cell membrane?
No, DNA viruses multiply in the host cell's nucleus, while most RNA viruses multiply in the host cell's cytoplasm
How is a virus cause a disease in a host?
a virus can ony reproduce inside a living cell that surves as a host. A Host is living thing that a virus or parasite lives on or in . Using a host's cell as a tiny factory , the virus forces the host to make viruses rather than healthy new cells.
Why does viruses have parasites?
viruses are considered parasites (obligate parasites) because they cannot exist on their own. they need the host cell's machinery to reproduce so they cannot "survive" (technically not living) outside the cell.
What is active viruses?
when a virus enters a cell and is active, it cause the host cell to make new viruses, which destroy the host cell.
What to viruses reproduce?
a host Cell
How are viruses similar to parasites?
Viruses are similar to parasites because both require a host to survive and both destroy the cells in which they multiply (cause harm to the host).
