What else can I help you with?
What type of cell are viruses?
None. Viruses are acellular. Many biologists do not consider viruses to be living things in part because they are acellular. Look at any phylogeny (tree of life). Viruses are not on them.
What are characteristics of viruses?
viruses are obligate intracellular entities and are considered to be acellular
Do viruses have a mitocondria?
No- viruses are acellular, which means that they are not made up of groups of cells, and thus do not have mitochondria present in them.
ARE Viruses are a type of cell?
The type of cells that viruses live in are host cells. Viruses need host cells in order to reproduce or multiply.
why viruses are acellur?
Viruses are acellular, which means they don't have a cellular structure. As a result, they lack the majority of cell components such as organelles, ribosomes, and the plasma membrane.
What are acellular particles?
Acellular particles are basically just particles that aren't made up of cells (aka non-cellular). These include viruses, prions and viroids. Because they aren't made up of cells, they aren't classified as living organisms. They are obviously neither eukaryotic or prokaryotic.
Why are viruses referred to as being acellular?
organisms, as they have been considered either as very simple microorganisms or very complex molecules
Are viruses classified as procaryotic or eucaryotic?
Viruses are neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic. They are acellular entities that lack the necessary cellular machinery to carry out metabolic processes on their own.
What are some characteristics of viruses?
some characteristics of a virus: - needs a host - can contain DNA or RNA - can have an envelope cell - is an acellular organism
Is Virus single cellular or Multi-cellular?
Multi-cellular I think although I am not 100% sure. Please do not take my word for it. Hope this helps...
What cell is not part of the cell theory?
Viruses are not considered part of the cell theory because they are acellular entities that require a host cell to replicate.
What is acellular obligatory parasite?
An acellular obligatory parasite is a type of parasite that lacks cellular structure and relies on a host cell's machinery for survival and reproduction. Examples include viruses, viroids, and prions. These parasites cannot replicate or carry out metabolic functions independent of a host cell.
