Biochemical tests are not effective for identifying viruses because viruses lack the necessary biochemical machinery to conduct metabolic processes. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that rely on host cells to replicate, making them difficult to culture and study using traditional biochemical methods. Instead, techniques like nucleic acid amplification and serological testing are used to identify and characterize viruses.

Why did Hershey and Chase choose to use viruses in their experiments?
Hershey and Chase chose to use viruses in their experiments because viruses are simple and can easily infect and replicate within host cells, making them ideal for studying the process of genetic material transfer.
Is the plural of virus viruses?
Most people use "viruses", but if you wanted to be really proper about it, you could treat it as the original Latin word and use "virii" (pronounced like "vye-rye", both syllables rhyme with "eye").
Why is an electron microscope is used to see viruses?
An electron microscope is used to see viruses because viruses are much smaller than bacteria and cannot be seen with a light microscope. Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons to create a high-resolution image, allowing researchers to visualize viruses at the nanometer scale. This level of magnification is necessary to study the detailed structure and characteristics of viruses.
What is the difference between DNA viruses and RNA viruses?
There are several differences for example; most DNA viruses use the DNA polymerases of of the host cell to synthesize new genomes along the templates provided by the viral DNA, in contrast to replicate their genomes, RNA viruses use virally encoded polymerases that can use RNA as a template. RNA viruses usually retain their RNA within capsids, whilst DNA viruses are less "packaged" usually retained within say a head, or a capsomere. The main difference of course, is that DNA viruses contain either a doubled stranded DNA (dsDNA) or a single stranded (ssDNA), and RNA viruses contain dsRNA or ssRNA. There are of course several other differences, but these are the ones I know of.
Do all viruses grow using sunlight and carbon dioxide?
Viruses do not "grow", much less use sunlight and carbon dioxide to develop. That is what plants do. Viruses enter a host cell, intergrate their DNA with its, and the host cell "builds" more parts of the virus, which assemble in masses, explode out of the cell, and go on to infect new host cells.
How do you stop lag on habbo?
use a better computer. cant have viruses
What are the biochemical tests for identification of virus?
Biochemical tests are generally not used for the identification of viruses. Instead, techniques such as serological assays, nucleic acid amplification tests (PCR), electron microscopy, and viral culture methods are commonly used to identify viruses. These methods help to detect specific viral proteins or genetic material in samples.
Why cant you use antibiotics to kill virus but bacteria can be killed by antibiotics?
Because bacteria and viruses are two completely different things. Antibiotics - as their name implies - will kill bacteria, but antibiotics simply have no effect on viruses.
Is the pirate bay safe to use with a mac?
yes it is because mac cant 'welcome' any viruses, they get whiped out as they try to attach themselves.
Do medical viruses use energy?
yes medical viruses does use energy
How do you use turnover in a sentence?
The use of biochemical markers of bone turnover in osteoporosis.
Do computers viruses have DNA?
No. Computer viruses use lines and strings of code.
Does virus makes the cell it is in produce more viruses?
Yes, viruses use the cell that it has invaded to produce more viruses.
Viruses need water to survive?
they move from person to person and regenerate... some feed on your red blood cells, while others infuse themselves into your dna so white blood cells cant fight them. they then replicate themselves. the only way to kill a virus is to isolate all who have it, which is impossible in the case of certain ones... like the flu. everyone has it at sometime
Why don't scientists use binomial nomenclature to name viruses?
Biologists don't use binomial nomenclature to name viruses because binomial nomenclature is reserved for living things. Viruses are not considers alive.
Do some Roblox games give viruses?
No, It does not. Some games have viruses, but they are Roblox viruses and they will NEVER HARM YOUR COMPUTER. You will only get roblox viruses if you use bad free models.
Why do you classify viruses as obligatory intracellular parasite?
Viruses need living cells to produce more viruses. They are obliged to use living cells.
