What else can I help you with?
What does plasma cells produce?
Plasma cells produce antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, which are proteins that help the immune system recognize and fight off pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.
Why is reverse transcriptase used to produce proteins artificially?
Reverse transcriptase is used to produce proteins artificially because it can convert RNA into complementary DNA, which can then be used as a template for protein synthesis. This is particularly useful when working with RNA viruses or when studying gene expression in cells that primarily contain RNA instead of DNA.
What poison is produced by bacteria and viruses to make us feel ill?
Toxins can be produced by certain bacteria and viruses to cause illness in humans. Bacteria such as Clostridium botulinum produce botulinum toxin, while viruses like influenza can produce proteins that exacerbate symptoms such as fever and muscle aches. These toxins can disrupt normal bodily functions and lead to symptoms of illness.
What are 2 non-living pathogens?
Viruses and prions are examples of non-living pathogens. Viruses require host cells to replicate, while prions are misfolded proteins that can cause disease by inducing other proteins to misfold.
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.
Do viruses produce cellular proteins?
Viruses do produce cellular proteins that are necessary for viral synthesis.
Are viruses infection proteins?
Viruses are made up of proteins (capsid) and genetic material. Virus surface protein interact with its host cell receptors for the entry (1st step in infection). Viral particle can infect the host by inserting their genetic material in to the host genome. Host synthetic machinery produce viral proteins.
What does plasma cells produce?
Plasma cells produce antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, which are proteins that help the immune system recognize and fight off pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.
Does virus makes the cell it is in produce more viruses?
Yes, viruses use the cell that it has invaded to produce more viruses.
Do viruses have silica?
No. Viruses are composed of nucleic acids, proteins, and sometimes lipids.
What does c5h12 stand for?
the surface proteins on viruses
What is responsible for the specificity of viruses?
Viruses have proteins in their capsid which match proteins in the membrane of their preferred host. This produces the ability to "dock" and then enter the host cell.
Are there any organic compounds in viruses?
yes, viruses contain proteins and nucleic acid.
What functions to produce proteins?
Ribosomes functions as factories to produce proteins.

What are the Proteins called attack viruses and toxins?
Antibodies
