Viruses live and breed in what cells?
Viruses cannot live or breed on their own. Instead, they infect the cells of living organisms, such as animals, plants, and bacteria, to replicate and spread. Once inside a host cell, the virus hijacks the cell's machinery to reproduce more viruses.
Viruses do not require nutrients?
Viruses do not have their own metabolism and cannot produce energy on their own. They rely on host cells to provide nutrients for their replication.
Are viruses eukaryotes?
No, viruses are not considered to be eukaryotes. They are non-cellular entities that lack many characteristics of living cells, such as the ability to carry out metabolic processes on their own. Instead, viruses rely on host cells to replicate and survive.
Differences between bacteria and virus?
Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can reproduce on their own, while viruses are not cells and rely on a host cell to reproduce. Bacteria are larger in size than viruses and can be treated with antibiotics, whereas viruses are smaller and are typically treated with antiviral medication. Bacteria are living organisms with their own cellular machinery, whereas viruses are considered non-living as they require a host cell to replicate.
Do viruses produce their own food?
No, viruses do not produce their own food. They are obligate intracellular parasites that rely on host cells to replicate and generate new virus particles. Viruses lack the machinery necessary for carrying out metabolic processes like producing food.
Can viruses lives live on their own?
Yes,they live in hosts only to reproduce.
Viruses live and breed in what cells?
Viruses cannot live or breed on their own. Instead, they infect the cells of living organisms, such as animals, plants, and bacteria, to replicate and spread. Once inside a host cell, the virus hijacks the cell's machinery to reproduce more viruses.
Cells are considered the smallest unit of life because?
Nothing smaller than a cell that can live on its own has ever been discovered. Viruses, for example, while smaller than a cell, cannot live on its own. It it not even sure that viruses are more than a dot of inert chemical.
What are the viruses called?
They all have their own names, but as a group they are just viruses.
What are the 3 main reasons viruses don't qualify as living?
1.no nucleus 2.they are particles 3.can't live on their own
What are two reasons that viruses are considered non living?
Some argue that viruses are not living organisms because they can only replicate themselves by infecting a host cell and therefore cannot reproduce on their own. And also viruses do not metabolize on their own.
Do viruses grow on dead cells?
Viruses that enter a cell do not die. A virus cannot reproduce on its own so it needs to find a cell in which to live. After the virus is done reproducing, most host cells die.
Do viruses reproduce with live or dead?
viruses are nonliving things. but they need living things to reproduces. so live
Can viruses live in the human intestine and id in the digestive process?
viruses can live in intestine but they get remove with the removing of excretory waste.
Where do software viruses live?
On computers
Where do bacteria and viruses live?
Viruses live almost everywhere around us in places such as the soil and air.Different viruses may infect plants,animals or even bacteria .Viruses try to gain access to the machinery in the cell in order to make more viruses.
What do all viruses have?
genetic material of their own
