Can a virus infect any type of cell?
Yes.It infects fungi,plants,animals and bacterias
Does bacteriophage infect bacteria only?
Yes, bacteriophages are viruses that specifically infect bacteria. They target bacterial cells by injecting their genetic material into the bacterial cell and using the host's cellular machinery to replicate.
How many different kinds of cells can any given virus infect?
A given virus can infect a limited range of cell types, often specific to certain hosts or tissues. This specificity is largely determined by the virus's surface proteins, which must match receptors on the host cell's membrane. For example, some viruses may infect only certain types of animal cells, while others may target specific plant or bacterial cells. Overall, the diversity of cells a virus can infect varies widely between different viruses.
How do viruses obtain carbohydrates?
Viruses do not have the machinery to produce their own carbohydrates. Instead, they rely on the host cells they infect to supply the necessary carbohydrates for their replication and survival. Viruses can hijack the host cell's metabolic pathways to obtain carbohydrates for their own use.
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.
What do viruses that cause physical diseases infect?
It depends on what kind of virus. Viruses can infect any cell in the human body. Viruses such as HIV infect the immune system; air-born viruses, such as H1N1 or a cold, infect the respiratory system; neurological viruses, like rabies infect the brain (the virus is usually carried to it by peripheral nerves); and viruses like polio effect the nervous system, which can create paralysis.
Can a virus infect any type of cell?
Yes.It infects fungi,plants,animals and bacterias
Are viruses devoid of any biochemical machinery and thus behave like dead particles inside the cell?
viruses behave like dead particles out of the cell and in specific out its particular cell. Once inside its cell, the virus uses the cell's machinery to "come alive" it then begins to reproduce and infect other of the same type of cell.
What is a pandoravirus?
A pandoravirus is any of a species of very large viruses which infect amoebas.
Does bacteriophage infect bacteria only?
Yes, bacteriophages are viruses that specifically infect bacteria. They target bacterial cells by injecting their genetic material into the bacterial cell and using the host's cellular machinery to replicate.
Is there any specific name for a helpful virus?
No. Any and all viruses are parasitic. There may not be any helpful viruses, but there are certainly a large quantity of harmless viruses, which doesn't infect humans, but rather specific animals or plants.

What are computer viruses area of infection?
Computer viruses can infect the hard disk the usb drive Any other removable media the web browser

Can a specific virus adhere to and infect any type of cell?
no it cannot
What is a male virus called?
There are no male and female viruses. Viruses do not reproduce sexually and so do not have gender.
Is it true that a specific virus can adhere to and infect any type of cell?
false
