Why does viruses have parasites?
viruses are considered parasites (obligate parasites) because they cannot exist on their own. they need the host cell's machinery to reproduce so they cannot "survive" (technically not living) outside the cell.
What are the effects of neutral viruses?
If by neutral you mean benign, it only slows down your computer.
Which are made of matter living things only some living and all nonliving things both living and nonliving things?
All are made from matter.
Do all living things have all of the characteristics in life?

How do viruses spead?
by not washing your hands and being to touchy There are two vectors (means of spreading) viruses: air and surface. Airborne viruses usually are able to survive without a host for longer periods, and are passed by sneezing, coughing, and breathing. Surfaceborne viruses are passed by direct contact. These viruses must come into contact with the mucus membranes of a new host to survive for very long. While the lifespan of a hostless virus is usually short, there are some exceptions. For instance, HIV survives outside the host for only several seconds, however, most strains of hepatitis can survive on a surface without a host for two weeks.
What infectious agents is not living?
Viruses are the only non-biological infectious agents; all otheres are forms of pathogen, which are bacteria.
What are the 2 microscopic organisms which cause disease?
The two microscopic organisms that cause disease are bacteria and viruses. Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that can multiply and cause infections in the body, while viruses are smaller infectious agents that can only replicate inside the cells of living organisms.
What is true viruses?
Viruses are cellular parasites.
Description of viruses and its description?
Viruses are small infectious agents that can only replicate inside living cells of organisms. They consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat. Viruses can cause a wide range of diseases in humans, plants, and animals.
What infectious agent live only by invading cells?
Viruses are infectious agents that can only replicate and survive by invading host cells and hijacking their cellular machinery. Once inside a host cell, viruses use the cell's resources to produce more viral particles, which can then go on to infect other cells. This process ultimately leads to the destruction of the host cell as new viruses are released to infect additional cells.
What is a noncellular particle containing hereditary material called?
A Virus They have a protein coat to encase them
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.
What is an organism so small it can pass through a porcelain filter and can be crystallized?
A virus is an organism that is small enough to pass through a porcelain filter and can be crystallized. Viruses are infectious agents that can only replicate inside the cells of living organisms.
Who is larger virus or atom?
Atoms are larger than viruses. Atoms are the basic units of matter, while viruses are microscopic infectious agents that can only be seen with a microscope. Viruses are typically much smaller than atoms.
How do you write short note on virus?
Viruses are small infectious agents that can only replicate inside the cells of living organisms. They consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses can infect all types of life forms, from animals and plants to bacteria. They are responsible for a wide range of diseases in humans, animals, and plants.
What cell organism starts with the letter v?
A cell organism that starts with the letter "v" is a virus. Viruses are infectious agents that can only replicate inside the cells of other organisms.
The only known infectious agents that lack genetic material are A. certain viruses. B. prions. C. viroids. D. none of the above D?
The only known infectious agents that lack genetic material are prions. Prions are misfolded proteins that can cause other proteins to misfold and aggregate, leading to neurodegenerative diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
