What else can I help you with?
How do crystallized viruses retain their properties?
In their DNA or RNA.
Does a vaccine defend againt viruses?
no, only against bacteria and funguses. viruses have different properties to bacteria and funguses.
What are the differences between properties of viruses and properties of organisms?
viruses are on the borderline of living and non living while organisms are living, viruses are simple structured, they have a DNA strand surrounded by a protein coat and sometimes a tail while organisms consist of complex cells
Can capsaicin effectively kill viruses"?
Capsaicin has been shown to have some antiviral properties in studies, but more research is needed to determine its effectiveness in killing viruses.
Are viruses living structures based on the 7 properties of life?
Viruses are not considered living structures because they do not exhibit all the properties of life. While they can replicate and evolve, they lack the ability to carry out metabolic processes, respond to stimuli, or maintain homeostasis independently. Viruses rely on host cells to reproduce, making them dependent entities.
Can viruses be created artificially?
Yes, viruses can be created artificially through techniques like synthetic biology and genetic engineering. Scientists can manipulate the genetic material of a virus to modify its properties or create new viruses for research purposes. Such artificial viruses are often used to study viral functions or develop vaccines.
What is difference between viral disease and bacterial disease?
One is caused by bacteria and the other is caused by viruses. Only bacterial diseases can be successfully treated with antibiotics. Bacteria are alive, viruses are not. Viruses invade bacteria and take over their properties, including the ability to infect.
Why is there is debate about the viruses being alive or dead?
The debate is not about whether viruses are alive or dead. Rather, there is debate about whether a virus should be considered a living thing. Viruses are not like living cells, because they do not have metabolic processes, and they cannot reproduce themselves. Instead, they invade a host cell, and the virus's genes cause the host cell to produce new viruses. However, the question of whether this "counts" as being alive is a semantic one. Viruses have some properties of living things, and they lack other properties, so the question of whether they are "alive" comes down to one's definition of the word "life."
The grouping of viruses is based partly on the?
The grouping of viruses is based partly on their genetic material (DNA or RNA), mode of replication, morphology, and characteristics of their host cell. These factors help define different families, genera, and species of viruses. Additionally, viruses may also be grouped based on their structural and biochemical properties.
Crystallized viruses retain their ineffective properties. This indicates that?
Crystallized viruses retain their ineffective properties, indicating that their structural integrity is preserved even in a dormant state. This suggests that the crystallization process does not alter the viral structure enough to enable infection, implying that the viral components remain intact but inactive. Consequently, this phenomenon can be useful in studying viral properties and developing vaccines, as researchers can analyze the crystallized form without the risk of active infection.
Why does garlic help with colds?
Garlic contains compounds that have antimicrobial properties, which can help boost the immune system and fight off cold viruses.
