They are called obligate intracellular parasites because they must use a host cell's amino acids to synthesize proteins, metabolic enzymes and pathways to obtain energy, ribosomes to synthesize proteins, and nucleotides for transcription and replication. In other words, they need to use just about everything from a host cell in order to survive.
What else can I help you with?
Is there a life that doesn't need oxygen?
Yes. There are organisms called anaerobic bacteria which do not need oxygen. To some organisms, called obligate anaerobes, oxygen is actually toxic. The first living things on Earth were obligate anaerobes.
What is the fluid component of the cytoplasm called?
Cytosol!!!
How does the skin protect you and what does it protect you against?
Skin protects the inside of the body from bacteria. If it weren't for skin, we would get infections way too easily and certainly would not be able to survive. Not only just bacteria, but from viruses, parasites, and fungi too. A substance called melanin protects your skin from burns.
Do viruses have a protein coat?
no
Determine how some viruses might be helpful?
they can be made into vaccines against themselves. Additionally, virsuses that attack bacteria, called bacteriophages, may someday be used to treat bacteria infections. There has also be research into using viruses to kill harmful insects.
What kind of pathogenic organism live inside cells?
These are called intracellular parasites. All viruses are in this group. Obligate bacteria types include Rickettisae and Chlamydia. Also there are a few that are considered to be non-obligate:Mycobacterium and Brucella.
Is the reason viruses are called obligatory intracellular parasites because they require a cell host to replicate?
yes.
What are pathogens that need living cells in order to reproduce called?
Pathogens that need living cells in order to reproduce are called obligate intracellular parasites. These pathogens rely on a host cell's machinery to replicate and spread throughout the body. Examples include viruses and certain bacteria.
What is a pathogen that grows inside a cell called?
An intracellular pathogen is a pathogen that grows inside a host cell. Examples include viruses, some bacteria like Chlamydia, and certain parasites like Plasmodium.
Why are viruses called obligate parasite?
Because they absolutely require living host cells in order to multiply
How do you use the word intracellular in a sentence?
Intracellular processes refer to mechanisms that occur within a cell, such as protein synthesis or DNA replication. An example sentence could be: "During cellular respiration, energy is produced within the intracellular mitochondria."
Organisms that enter the body and make you sick are called?
Pathogens. These are typically bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that can cause disease by invading the body's tissues. Common examples include influenza viruses, E. coli bacteria, and malaria parasites.
A bacterium that can enter the structure of a host cell is called?
intracellular.
What is an expert on germs called?
An expert on germs is called a microbiologist. Microbiologists study microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites to understand how they interact with their environment and impact human health.
What is disease-causing microorganisms called?
Disease-causing microorganisms are called pathogens. These can include bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi that can infect and harm the host organism, leading to illness or disease.
What are viral or bacteria germs that invade body cells called?
Viruses, bacteria, and so on are called germs, infective agents, microbes, pathogens and so forth.
Bacteria that are killed by oxygen are called obligate?
anaerobes
