Viruses do not really "eat" because they are not alive. They are called microbes and microscopic organisms by some scientists for ease of discussion, but they don't meet the strict definitions of these, so other scientists prefer to call them "sub-microscopic infectious agents".
They carry pieces of DNA or RNA and attach to and enter a living host's cells (plant or animal) and cause those cells to create more viruses. The virus causes this replication by modifying the DNA of the "invaded" host cells to make them stop their original function in the host and turn into a cell functioning only to reproduce copies of the virus. The material and energy needed to reproduce them is not coming from the virus or to the virus in the form of food, it is provided by the host animal's or plant's cells. Viruses can not continue to replicate (stay "alive") without the host cell doing the work and providing the materials.
What else can I help you with?
How can viruses eat?
Viruses cannot eat because they lack the cellular machinery for metabolism. Instead, viruses hijack host cells and use their machinery to replicate themselves. This process often damages or destroys the host cell.
What microbes can I eat?
fungi bacteria viruses
What do viruses eat?
Viruses do not technically "eat" in the same way that living organisms do. Instead, they rely on host cells to replicate and reproduce. Once inside a host cell, a virus will hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of itself.
Is viruses a producer or consumer?
Neither - viruses do not eat. There are debates about whether viruses are a form of life, or organic structures that interact with living organisms.
Mode feeding of virus?
Viruses are not alive and so do not "eat".
What eats viruses?
Not sure if any bacteria/protists eat viruses, but our white blood cells definitely do. How do you think you fight a cold?
Bacteria and viruses cause disease?
yup it can so eat healthy
How does the blue mole virus get its food?
Viruses do not eat, they parasitize cells.
Do mris cause viruses to eat your blood cells?
Sometimes they do and people can die from it.
Why do antibodies force viruses to clamp together?
so they can eat them at once, and stop them from spreading i mean antibodies eat the virus up....
What do viruses do to cells in the body?
it will eat the cells unlike good ones eat dead tissue (a group of same-cells working as one).
What part of the host do bacteria and viruses eat?
viruses dont eat anything because they are not living, bacteria eat anything they can find, they break down what they can find and absorb it, the feed on glucose just like every other heterotrophic organism
