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 particles 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.
What else can I help you with?
What cell is not part of the cell theory?
Viruses are not considered part of the cell theory because they are acellular entities that require a host cell to replicate.
Which organism is considered an exception to the cell theory?
Striated muscle fibers are considered an exception to the cell theory because they are multinucleated, meaning they have multiple nuclei within a single cell. This contradicts the cell theory's principle that states all living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
Can a virus live outside a cell?
No
Are viruses a single celled organism?
Technically, a virus is closer to a wayward computer program. No cell! The genetic-related information has a way to get into the infectable cell, and then it uses the cell to make viruses. So instead of your brain cell "thinking", it's busy making viruses (usually the cell dies).
Why does a virus not follow the cell theory?
Viruses are not classified as living things because they do not have the properties of living things such as reproductive function. They need to have a host for their genetic material. On the other hand, all living cells can reproduce if they are signalled. They also do not have cellular structure They do not have their own metabolism P.s. Viruses are known as the zombies of biology)))
Viruses are considered an exception to the cell theory because they normally reproduce?
only in a host cell
What is one exception to the modern cell theory?
The first cell did not come from a preexisting cell and viruses
What cell is not part of the cell theory?
Viruses are not considered part of the cell theory because they are acellular entities that require a host cell to replicate.
What statement describes an expception to the cell theory?
An exception to the cell theory is the existence of viruses, which are not composed of cells and cannot perform metabolic processes independently. Viruses rely on host cells for replication and do not have the cellular structure that characterizes living organisms. This challenges the cell theory's assertion that all living organisms are made of cells.
What group does virus belong to?
Be more specific? Viruses can be considered pathogens, but they are not considered living because they do not obey the cell theory.
Exceptions of cell theory of every point of the cell theory?
Viruses
Which organism is considered an exception to the cell theory?
Striated muscle fibers are considered an exception to the cell theory because they are multinucleated, meaning they have multiple nuclei within a single cell. This contradicts the cell theory's principle that states all living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
What is one of the exceptions to a characteristics of life?
One exception to the characteristic of life is viruses. Viruses are considered non-living because they cannot carry out the basic functions of life on their own and require a host cell to replicate.
Why bacteria and blue green algae are exception of cell theory?
The bacteria and blue green algae are exception of the cell theory because they are devoid of the true nucleus or well organized nucleus.
Does the cell theory apply to viruses?
No, viruses do not meet all the criteria of the cell theory because they are acellular entities that cannot carry out cellular functions on their own. Viruses require a host cell to replicate and carry out their life cycle.
Why are viruses not included as part of the cell theory?
They arent alive
Identify two exceptions to the cell theory?
Exception to "every cell came from another cell": The first cell ever. (Controversial) exception to "a cell is the smallest unit of life"/"all life is made of cells": viral matter. Hope this helps!
