Is a virus made up of a cell or cells?
No, a virus is not made up of cells. It is a small infectious agent that can only replicate inside the cells of living organisms.
What type of immune cells are in the Swine Flu?
None. Swine flu is an illness caused by the pathogen known now as swine flu virus, A-H1N1/09 influenza. The illness contains no immune cells, nor does the virus. Your body responds to the presence of the virus with an immune response that sends your own immune cells to the area of your body where the flu virus has invaded. It is your body's immune cells that enter the "fight" and eventually get rid of the virus by constructing the type of immune cells called antibodies that are a perfect fit to inactivate the specific virus so it can no longer cause cell damage and symptoms of the flu. Your body then remembers the antibodies that worked to inactivate the virus so it can use them in the future if you are ever exposed to that virus again.
What is inside a flu virus?
Technically, viruses are not alive, thus they are not a cell. You may be referring to the protein capsid in which the nucleic acid of the virus is enclosed in. The contents of the capsid may vary depending on the virus, but it can be ssDNA, dsDNA, ssRNA, or dsRNA.
What surrounds the capsid and helps the virus enter the cell?
The capsid of a virus is surrounded by an envelope, which is derived from the host cell membrane during the viral replication process. This envelope contains viral glycoproteins that help the virus attach to and enter into host cells.
Is smallpox a DNA virus or an RNA virus?
Smallpox contains DNASmallpox is a virus, and therefore, can only have RNA or DNA. In the case of smallpox, it contains DNA. Viruses require a host to supply them with either RNA or DNA in order that more virus entities can be made.DNA
A Virus contains a set of plans for what?
infecting living cells
An agent that reproduces in cells but is not composed of cells and contains RNA as its genetic material is what?
A virus
A virus contains a set of plans for living cells?
A virus contains genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat. This genetic material allows the virus to replicate inside living cells by hijacking the cell's machinery. Viruses cannot live or carry out functions on their own, but they can infect living cells and use them to reproduce.
how many cells in virus?
hello
What is the function of the inner core of a virus?
The inner core contains genetic makeup that creats new viruses.
What are the cells of bacteria's?
prof lj says bacteria contains a mini virus , nucleaus and blood cells as well as micro organisms
Can a virus have cells?
No, a virus cannot have cells.
What is a generalist virus?
It infects many kinds of cells in many different hosts.
An organism that contains many cells is said to be?
I
If the virus that causes chickenpox contains DNA reproduces inside cells of living organisms is not made of cells and does not eat or breathe then why isn't the virus considered to be living?
Viruses are not living things because they do not meat the definition/standard science uses to define living things.
What is the function of the neck of a virus?
The neck of a virus, also known as the neck domain, plays a role in attaching the virus to host cells. It contains specific proteins or structures that interact with receptors on the surface of host cells, facilitating viral entry into the host cell. This attachment process is crucial for initiating viral infection.
Is a virus made up of a cell or cells?
No, a virus is not made up of cells. It is a small infectious agent that can only replicate inside the cells of living organisms.
