Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive. They are nonliving. They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dog's coat. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These parts can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They cannot make more viruses on their own. They do not have any metabolic properties at all but bacteria do.

How are the new cells of your models and the animal cells alike?

Both the new cells in the models and animal cells have a similar structure and function. They both contain a nucleus, cytoplasm, and organelles, and carry out processes like metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Additionally, they both undergo cell division to generate new cells.


How do computers help scientists learn about bacteria?

Computers can help scientists learn about bacteria any time there is a need for number crunching which occurs extremely frequently when scientists study bacteria. Flow cytometry, for example, can count the number of bacteria in a sample, using lazers and detectors. The electronic information from the detectors is fed into a computer where it is analyzed and turned into useful information about how many bacteria are present. Without the computer, flow cytometry and many other complex technologies useful for studying bacteria would be impossible.


How do protocells differ from normal cells?

Proteins are simplified vesicles that can exhibit some characteristics of living cells, such as metabolism or self-replication. However, they lack the complexity and functionality of normal cells, like organelles or genetic material. Proteins are considered primitive models of early life forms that may have led to the evolution of more complex cells.


How can you use models to compare fungus cells and plant cells?

Models can be used to compare fungus and plant cells by creating simplified representations that highlight their similarities and differences in structure, organelles, and function. By using 3D models or diagrams, researchers can visually compare the key features of fungus and plant cells, such as the presence of a cell wall in both types of cells or the unique organelles found in each cell type, like chloroplasts in plant cells and mitochondria in fungus cells. These models can help scientists better understand the distinct characteristics of each cell type and how they contribute to their respective biological functions.


What does annotation involve?

Annotation involves adding additional information or comments to a text, image, or data set to provide clarification or context. It helps to categorize, summarize, or highlight key points for better understanding or analysis. In the context of machine learning, annotation is used to label data to train models and improve their accuracy.
