List prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells and viruses in order of increasing complexity?
Viruses, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells. Viruses are the simplest, consisting of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat. Prokaryotic cells are more complex, with no membrane-bound organelles and a simpler structure than eukaryotic cells, which are the most complex with membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus.
Are there DNA viruses?
Most viruses have either RNA or DNA bound in a basic membrane. During infection, they will inject this into the host cell so that the host cell can read and use its own mechanisms to replicate the virus.
Which microbes do not need to multiply inside of living cells?
Some examples of microbes that do not need to multiply inside of living cells are bacteria, yeast, and certain fungi. These microbes are able to replicate and grow outside of host cells in various environments such as soil, water, and food.
Why are most viruses highly specific to cells they infects?
viruses must bind precisely to proteins on the cell surface and than use a hosts genetic system, this is why most viruses are highly specific to the cells they infect
What are most viruses highly specific to the cells they infect?
somehow
How do most materials etner cells?
Through proteins in the membrane.
Where would viruses most likely grow?
Viruses can only live in living organisms (viruses themselves are not actually living). They might infect cells in our body, such as throat cells (infection of throat cells causes sore throat).
What is the outer most layer of cells called?
Cell membrane
What is characteristic of cancer cells?
The most common characteristic of cancer cells is that they multiply rapidly. Cancer cells can multiply at a rapid pace and make the patient weak.
Do viruses meet the requirement for life that living things are made of cells?
there is debate, but most agree: no. viruses lack a cell membrane and lack cell organelles. they have genetic material and can replicate it (although not ont heir own; they need to force a host cell's replicating proteins to do so). there is argument as to whether or not they can adapt to changes to their enviroment.
What is the site for most ATP synthesis in procaryotic cells?
cell membrane
Are Viruses structurally organized?
Yes, viruses are structurally organized with genetic material (RNA or DNA) enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid. Some viruses also have an outer lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane. These structures help viruses infect host cells and replicate.
