Are viruses chemosynthetic photosynthetic or parasitic or can they be all of the above?
The closest answer is parasitic since certain viruses harm the host cell in order to replicate and survive (not all viruses do, though). Chemosynthetic and photosynthetic would imply that viruses themselves contain the necessary biological machinery to carry out cellular functions, which they don't.

What environmental factors will cause a rapid decline in the photosynthesis rate if the factor rises above a certain level?
Factors such as high temperatures, excessive light intensity, and pollution can lead to a rapid decline in photosynthesis rate if they rise above a certain level. These conditions can damage the photosynthetic machinery within plants, disrupting the process of photosynthesis and reducing its efficiency.
How are viruses killed?
Viruses are killed by plain oxygen, above the 20.08% of what we breath. Viruses are Anaerobic, meaning - when it comes in contact with H202, ozone, or just simply a medical bottle of compressed oxygen with a regulator fed anally for just a few Minutes at a time, for HIV!
What is the function of haustorium in parasitic fungi?
Almost 80% of plants with roots participate in mutualistic symbiosis with fungus. Mycorrhiza, a “fungus root”, forms haustoria, the portion of the parasitic fungus which penetrates the root systems of other plants in order to intercept the nutrients going into the plant. However, as mentioned above, mycorrhiza roots participate in mutualistic symbiosis, which means that the mycorrhiza do not just take, but they give as well. The haustoria gives the plant certain minerals the plant cannot absorb from the soil. --A.S.
Do onions have leaves?
Onions when growing have a kind of 'reedy leaf'. about 2 inches wide and some can be quite long. Good Luck
What is the maximum temp parasitic worms can survive?
Most parasitic worms can survive at temperatures slightly above the normal body temperature of their host, around 37-39°C. However, prolonged exposure to temperatures above 40°C can be fatal to many parasitic worms.

What organisms feed on chemosynthetic bacteria?
Shrimp, crabs, fish, tube worms, and octopi are the large organism that are feeding on chemosynthetic bacteria. They are creating a food chain of predator and prey relationship, the primary consumers are above the list.
What color do viruses have?
---- The above statement is incorrect. Viruses, like all microorganisms, have no colour. The "colour" we see when we view photographs of them are due to graphical enhancement from the microscope that they used.
What is epogeal and apigeal germination?
Epigeal germination is when the seedling emerges above the soil surface, while apogeal germination is when the seedling remains below the soil surface. In epigeal germination, the cotyledons become photosynthetic and green, while in apogeal germination, the cotyledons remain underground and non-photosynthetic.
Do sunflowers undergo epigeal germination?
I'm no expert, but I believe yes: From: http://www.answers.com/topic/epigeal In botany, a seed is described as epigeal when the cotyledons of the germinating seed expand, throw off the seed shell and become photosynthetic above the ground. The converse, where the cotyledons remain non-photosynthetic, inside the seed shell, and below ground, is hypogeal. And http://www.answers.com/topic/cotyledon Cotyledons may be either epigeal, expanding on the germination of the seed, throwing off the seed shell and become photosynthetic above the ground; or hypogeal, not expanding, remaining below ground and not becoming photosynthetic. The latter is typically the case where the cotyledons act as a storage organ, as in many nuts and acorns. And http://www.answers.com/topic/germination
Do all plant have chloroplasts?
No, for example, onion plant cells don't. Even in green plants, chloroplasts are not in each cell, only in ones that receive sunlight. The presence of chloroplasts (green color) in the cells of a plant are an indicator of whether or not those cells are photosynthetic. Almost all terestrial plants are photosynthetic, but that does not mean that all of a single plant's cells are photosynthetic as described above. Photosynthetic cells are specialized to make sugar for the plant's energy needs from atmospheric carbon dioxide. The cells in other parts of the plant have other specialized functions.

What does genus mean in a virus?
In a virus, the genus classification refers to a group of related viruses that share similar characteristics, such as genetic makeup and structure. It is a taxonomic rank above species and helps in organizing viruses into distinct categories based on their similarities.
How do viruses damage the body?
This question is strangely placed and/or worded. If you mean biological viruses: viruses harm people in many different ways, depending on the specimen. Generally, they inject DNA into your cells, "hijacking" them for their own selfish needs. Mainly for reproduction. If you mean computer viruses: computer viruses work as most other programs do, but with an interesting twist. They exploit your files in a way similar to the explanation above. Quite fascinating.
Which cause the common cold rabies AIDs and flu?
viruses. All four of those infectious diseases are caused by viruses. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the name of the virus that causes AIDS. The common cold is usually caused by the rhinovirus (up to 40% of colds), or Coronaviruses (about 20%), but there are more than 200 viruses that can cause the common cold. Viruses also cause the flu, there are three types of human influenza viruses, Types A, B and C and many subtypes and strains of each of those types.
