Do medical viruses use energy?

yes medical viruses does use energy


Do viruses process energy?

Viruses do not possess the necessary mechanisms to acquire nutrients, process them and use them for metabolism. Instead, they 'hijack' a host cell and use the mechanisms of the host cell to replicate itself.


Can a virus release and use energy?

Virus particles have no metabolism and does not use energy. However, some viruses have kinetic energy stored in the high pressure inside them, this energy is released when they squirt their genome into the host cell. When they hijack the cell to make more viruses the cell will use energy to produce new viruses.


What is the use of energy to bring necessary materials into cell?

The same use of energy that is used to bring necessary materials into a cell.


What can you do with energy crystals in Kingdom Hearts 2?

Use them with synthesis. Energy materials halve the costs of materials for item synthesis.


Name two features that distinguish viruses from bacteria?

All bacteria use their own ribosomes for protein synthesis while all viruses have to use their hosts' ribosomes. All bacteria have their own energy generation mechanisms (cellular respiration or photosynthesis) while all viruses have no intrinsic energy generation mechanisms.


How are viruses unlike organisms?

Unlike organisms, viruses are not cellular, nor do they have ribosomes or any other organelles for protein production, energy generation, etc. They cannot capture or store free energy but can only use energy derived from their host. Also, viruses can only reproduce via the host and not on their own.


Why are viruses made of cells?

Viruses are made of cell parts because they cannot synthesize the materials without a host cell. Protein coats and the material for the nucleic acid are taken entirely from the host cell using its energy.


What keeps cold germs alive and what do they live on?

Cold germs are viruses which are not alive like bacteria and some other germs are. Viruses are essentially a group of chemicals, proteins, and genetic materials that work together as an infectious organism. They can only function inside a host animal or plant and they use the materials and actions of the invaded cells of the host to replicate themselves. So the thing that keeps the cold viruses "alive" and provides the viruses with the materials they need to replicate, is the host.


Do all living thing obtain material and use the energy from it?

yes, all of living things obtain materials and energy, and use that material and energy.


Does cooking kill viruses?

Some researchers hope to use microwaves to destroy viruses, but the technique has so far proved ineffective. The water surrounding viruses absorbs the energy from microwaves. The virus doesn't receive enough microwave energy to be affected, much less destroyed.


What 3 materials make up many viruses?

The three materials that make up many viruses are proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. (I remember this by using NAPL, which stands for these three materials.)
