Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive. They are nonliving. They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dogs coat. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These parts can assemble into more viruses and then they breakout of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They can not make more viruses on their own.
They are very small and can be considered microscopic. We have to use an electron microscope to see them as they are that small.
What else can I help you with?
Which substances cause noninfected cells to form an antiviral protein that slows or stops viral multiplication?
Interferon
What is the fourth step during the multiplication of retrovirus?
The fourth step in retrovirus multiplication involves the integration of the viral DNA into the host cell's genome by the viral enzyme integrase. This integrated viral DNA, called a provirus, becomes a permanent part of the host cell's DNA and can be replicated along with the host cell's DNA during cell division.
What family of proteins whose specialty is fighting viruses by slowing or stopping their multiplication is known as?
The family of proteins known for fighting viruses by inhibiting their multiplication is called interferons. Interferons are produced by the immune system in response to viral infections and play a crucial role in protecting the body from viral pathogens.
What increases resistance of tissue cells to viral multiplication?
Increasing the levels of interferons, activating cellular defense mechanisms like the production of antiviral proteins, and promoting a strong immune response can all increase the resistance of tissue cells to viral multiplication. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can bolster the overall immune system and help cells resist viral infections.
How do most antiviral compounds halt the viral multiplication cycle?
Most antiviral compounds target specific steps in the viral replication cycle, such as inhibiting viral attachment, entry, replication, or release. By interfering with these crucial steps, the compounds can prevent the virus from multiplying and spreading in the body. This helps to reduce viral load and alleviate symptoms of the infection.
What is a protein released by macrophages and activated T cells that helps to protect other body cells from viral multiplication?
Interferon is the protein released by macrophages and activated T cells that helps protect other body cells from viral multiplication. It works by inhibiting the replication of viruses within infected cells and activating immune responses to eliminate the viruses.
The event that occurs in bacteriophage multiplication that does not occur in animal virus replication is?
The event that occurs in bacteriophage multiplication that does not occur in animal virus replication is the injection of only the viral nucleic acid into the host cell. Viruses that infect bacteria are specifically called bacteriophages.
What are the stages in multiplication cycle of animal virus?
Blueberry
Which substance is a family of proteins whose specialty is fighting viruses by slowing or stopping their multiplication?
Interferons are a family of proteins that specialize in fighting viruses by slowing or stopping their multiplication. They are produced by the body in response to viral infections and help to boost the immune response against viruses.
Are there any treatments available for viral diseases?
For the most part, no. Antibiotics work for bacterial diseases but are not effective against viruses. Viral infections require time and rest to overcome. Exceptions: Antiretroviral medications hinder the multiplication of the HIV virus, and there are certain medications that will lessen the severity of influenza in individuals who are especially vulnerable.
Why growing or cultivation of viruses is of medical importance?
-to isolate and identify viruses in clinical specimens -prepare viruses for vaccines -to research in detail the viral structures, multiplication cycles, genetics, and effects on the host cells
Can you give me a sentence with the word extraordinary in it?
That's an extraordinary claim! He had extraordinary powers of persuasion.
