How can some viruses be helpful?
Some viruses can be helpful by being used in gene therapy to treat genetic disorders. They can also be engineered to target and kill cancer cells in a process known as oncolytic virotherapy. Additionally, viruses can be used in biotechnology to deliver genetic material into cells for research or therapeutic purposes.
How are viruses spread from cell to cell?
New viruses are released after the lytic cycle. ~Gradpoint/Novanet
How do you explain how copies of viruses are produced?
Viruses replicate by hijacking host cells and using their machinery to make copies of themselves. Once inside a host cell, the virus releases its genetic material, which then directs the host cell to produce viral proteins and assemble new viral particles. These new virus particles can then infect other cells and continue the replication cycle.
Do viruses possess an envelope?
Yes, some viruses possess an envelope, which is a lipid membrane that surrounds the viral capsid. This envelope helps the virus infect host cells by facilitating entry into the cell.
Which microbes do not need to multiply inside of living cells?
Some examples of microbes that do not need to multiply inside of living cells are bacteria, yeast, and certain fungi. These microbes are able to replicate and grow outside of host cells in various environments such as soil, water, and food.
Is some viruses are prokaryotes and some are eukaryotes?
Viruses are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes as they are not living cells and do not have cell structure. They are parasites of living cells.
What are some things that might damage cells?
viruses
How can you trick your parents into letting you do something?
You can trick your parents into letting you do something by telling them it will be educational or will benefit them in some way. An example would be to say a movie would help to better understand history when it is in fact totally unrelated to history.
Can some RNA and DNA viruses change healthy cells into cancerous cells?
true
Are all viruses made out of a cell or cells?
No, viruses are not made of cells. They are small infectious agents that can only replicate inside the living cells of organisms. Viruses consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid.
How do viruses kill cancer cells?
Viruses can be engineered to specifically target and infect cancer cells, causing them to die. Some viruses can also stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Additionally, certain viruses have the ability to directly interfere with the replication process of cancer cells, leading to their death.

What are some limitations of antibiotics?
One thing is that antibiotics cannot kill viruses, as viruses are DNA structures which enter the cells in your body in order to duplicate, however antibiotics cannot enter into the cells, and can therefore not stop the virus.
What are six objects that are measured in micrometers?
Bacteria Red blood cells Yeast cells Most plant and animal cells Protozoa Some viruses
How can you kill viruses?
There are numerous products that kill viruses on environmental surfaces, but few that safely attack them in the body. The body's "T helper cells" can signal macrophages to attack some viruses.
What compounds kill bacteria cells and some viruses on the skin?
Antibacterial ointments, like Neosporin.
