What else can I help you with?
These pathogens cannot reproduce on their own and they must invade other cells to multiply?
Viruses
What is a biological agent that cannot reproduce on its own?
Virus
Are smaller than cells and cannot reproduce on their own?
plants or animals
What happens when the body cannot differentiate between pathogens and body cells?
The immune system will target the body's own cells
What reContainers that create the perfect environment for pathogens to grow and reproduce?
Containers that are damp, have organic material for pathogens to feed on, and have restricted airflow can create the perfect environment for pathogens to grow and reproduce. It is important to keep containers clean, dry, and well-ventilated to prevent the proliferation of pathogens.
Do viruses require a host in order to reproduce?
Yes, viruses require a host in order to reproduce. They cannot replicate on their own and rely on infecting a host cell to reproduce and spread.
Can you get an infection from sperm?
No. Sperm are not pathogens. Sperm are not viruses or bacteria. Sperm cannot reproduce themselves or hijack living cells in order to transcript its DNA or cause proteins to be produced.
Which microorganisns cannot multiply on their own?
Viruses cannot reproduce on their own. They must invade and infect other cells in order to be able to reproduce.
Are Viruses able to reproduce without using other organisms?
viruses are dormant when they are not inside a living cell. that means they don't have living characteristics when outside a living cell. they only reproduce when they are inside a living cell.
What are two ways that viruses do not act like living things?
They don't have their own metabolism and they can't reproduce on their own, two reasons for which they are obligatory parasites. They have to infect other cells with metabolisms to reproduce.
Can steer reproduce?
Steers are castrated and cannot reproduce.
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.
