What animal cell organelle is capable of reproducing independently within the cell?
Mitochondria replicate independently within the cell, a process known as fission. They have their own DNA and are capable of dividing and replicating to ensure energy production within the cell.
Do prions enter the cytoplasm?
Prions are too poorly understood to give a definitive answer on this. However it is believed that the normal version of the protein (PrPC) resides on the cell membrane and is involved in cell to cell communication. So it's likely that the prions don't enter the cytoplasm.
Is bacterium larger than prions?
Yes, bacteria are larger and more complex than prions. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that have a cell structure and can carry out various biological functions, while prions are infectious proteins that do not have a cell structure.
Describe how can viruses and prions can alter cell function?
Viruses can alter cell function by entering host cells and using their machinery to replicate and produce more virus particles. Prions, on the other hand, are misfolded proteins that can induce normal proteins in the cell to also misfold and accumulate, disrupting normal cellular function. Both viruses and prions can cause damage to cells, leading to various diseases and health problems.
How many cells are found in unicellular organisms?
One....... UNI means one or single...
Infectious microorganisms that exist as a particle rather than one complete cell and are not capable of reproducing outside the host cell?
Viruses
Infectious microorganisms that exist as a particle rather than one complete cell and are not capable or reproducing outside of a host cell are?
A virus is a small infectious microorganism that exists as a particle rather than a complete cell that is not capable of reproducing outside of a host cell. A virus only reproduces inside of other living cells in other organisms.

Why are cells considered to be the basic units of life?
Basically all living organism must have at least one cell to survive and to carry out its function.Organism like virus, viriods or prions are not considered as living organism as they can't carry out its function outside the host cell.
What does a nucleus in a non- living cell do?
They reproducing and reincarnation ^_^

What do bacteria viruses and fungi have in common?
Cell Walls
How do prions differ from viruses and bacteria?
Prions are unique infectious agents composed solely of misfolded proteins, lacking nucleic acids, while viruses are made up of genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat and require a host cell to replicate. Bacteria are single-celled organisms with a cellular structure, capable of independent metabolism and reproduction. Unlike viruses and bacteria, prions propagate by inducing abnormal folding in normal proteins, leading to neurodegenerative diseases without any genetic material involved.
