Bacteria and viruses attack the body. Each type of bacteria and virus attack different areas of the body. Also, there are many different ways of gaining access to the body. They attack the body by trying to shut down a certain system, which without your immune system, would kill you. Bacteria and viruses evolve. However, viruses aren't presently categorized as living organisms.

What is the smallest ribosome mitochondrion virus bacterium or protein?
Ribosomes are the smallest between mitochondria, viruses, bacterium, and protein. Ribosomes are the building blocks of mitochondria, viruses, bacterium, and proteins.
What shapes do virus assume?
Viruses can be helical and icosahedral forms or even more complex structures. Most viruses are about one one-hundredth the size of the average bacterium.
A bacteriophage typically attaches to the bacterium and then?
It's genetic material and some enzymes sometimes which hijack the bacteria into making more viruses.
Why do vaccines not protect against viral diseases?
Some vaccines do protect against viral diseases such as the vaccine against chickenpox. However, vaccines against viruses are very difficult to make. Not only are viruses very small, but they are not living organisms. Viruses require a living host to carry on certain processes. Vaccines tend to kill a bacterium or a specific organelle of a bacterium that would affect its ability to survive and carry on its normal functions. Due to the fact that viruses are not living this poses a problem to the normal approach.
What does a phage inject when it attaches to a bacterium?
Dna and phage body
What is the smallest ribosome mitochondrion virus bacterium or protein?
Ribosomes are the smallest between mitochondria, viruses, bacterium, and protein. Ribosomes are the building blocks of mitochondria, viruses, bacterium, and proteins.
What is the tail of a bacteriophage specialized for?
Landing on a bacterium and inserting the viruses genetic material into the bacterium.
Why do viruses spread quickly in a population?
Viruses have a big affect on the body system and it spreads quilky because it does
How does interference with the RNA in bacteria affect the natural functions of the bacterium?
RNA interferes with the natural functions of bacterium by limiting gene development. Limiting gene development will cause bacterium issues and will interfere with the prevention of certain viruses, prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Also, genes will not be able to express their need for protein when trying to acclimate to certain conditions within the body. RNA interference causes the destruction of these, and other mRNA molecules.
What diseases are not caused by bacterium?
viruses, genetic conditions etc
Are viruses bacterium?
Virus and bacteria are two seperate infective agents
Do bacteria and virous have a nucleus?
Both bacteria and viruses are prokaryotic, which means they do not contain a nucleus. Both viruses and bacterium are not cells.
Can viruses can only cause disease?
Viruses can affect animals, and some viruses can affect plants.
What are the similarities between viruses and ribosomes?
Ribosomes are made up of cellular skeletal components viruses are essentially prokaryotic bacterium which had mutated during evolution
What are the four types of pathogens?
The four type of pathogens are bacterium, protists, viruses, and fungi. Parasitic worms are NOT pathogens.
Do Windows viruses affect Ubuntu users?
Windows viruses do not affect the Ubuntu system .
What are microscopic free floating animals?
Bacterium, perhaps dust mites, and, arguably, viruses.
