The tip of a standard needle has a diameter of about 0.5 millimeters. Influenza viruses are approximately 80 to 120 nanometers in diameter. Given these measurements, it's estimated that millions of influenza viruses could fit on the tip of a needle, potentially around 100 million or more, depending on the exact size and packing arrangement of the viruses.

Why influenza A and influenza B cause epidemics but influenza C doesn't?

Influenza C viruses are also found in people. They are, however, milder than either type A or B. People generally do not become very ill from the influenza type C viruses. Type C flu viruses do not cause epidemics. Almost all adults have been infected with C but it just doesn't have the ability to cause epidemics and it doesn't fit the term epidemic.


Is influenza virus prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Influenza virus is neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic. It is classified as a type of virus, which is considered non-living and contains genetic material (RNA or DNA) surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses are distinct from cellular organisms and do not fit into the categories of prokaryotic or eukaryotic.


How many viruses can you fit in a period?

The number of viruses that can fit in a period (.) varies depending on the type of virus, but many common viruses range from about 20 to 300 nanometers in diameter. A period is approximately 0.5 millimeters (500 micrometers) in size, which means you could fit thousands to millions of viruses within that space, depending on their size. For example, if we consider a virus with a diameter of 100 nanometers, roughly 5,000 of them could fit in a period.

Is influenza autotroph or heterotroph?

Influenza is a virus and thus does not fit into either the autotroph or heterotroph classification. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that require a host cell to replicate and cannot carry out metabolic processes on their own.


Why does hep a targets liver cells?

All of these viruses like Hep A, B or C have matching proteins that work like a docking stations. They have one that fits just so with the one on the liver cell. Other viruses work the same way. The influenza virus affects the cells of the respiratory tract. Chickenpox viruses affect the skin but also the nerves.

How many angels could you fit on the needle tip?

The question of how many angels can fit on the tip of a needle is a philosophical and theological inquiry rather than a scientific one. It originates from medieval scholastic debates, often used to illustrate the nature of spiritual beings and the limits of human understanding. Since angels are considered non-physical entities, they do not occupy space in the traditional sense, making the question more about interpretation than measurement. Thus, one could argue that an infinite number of angels could fit on the tip of a needle.


How many rabie viruses can fit on one centimeter?

Rabies viruses are approximately 180 nanometers in length. Given that one centimeter equals 10 million nanometers, around 55,555 rabies viruses could theoretically fit in a one-centimeter line. However, this is a theoretical estimate and actual packing would depend on various factors such as the arrangement and medium.


Why dont viruses fit into any of the 6 kingdoms of life?

Viruses don't fit into the kingdoms of life because they aren't considered to be living things, even though they have DNA. Weird right?


What is needle nose pliers?

For injecting insulin which disposable syringe has the finest needle?

The syringes used for insulin administration can be fit with many sizes of needles. The finer needles have a higher gauge number....a 28 gauge needle is bigger/fatter than a 31 gauge needle, which is considered ultra-fine. The size of the syringe depends on the amount of insulin to be injected.
