One key difference between viruses and plant cells is that viruses are acellular and cannot replicate independently; they require a host cell to reproduce, while plant cells are complex, living organisms capable of photosynthesis and metabolic processes. Additionally, viruses consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat, lacking cellular structures, whereas plant cells have a defined structure, including a cell wall, chloroplasts, and organelles that perform specific functions.

What are the differences between a virus an animal cell and a plant cell?
Viruses are non-living entities that require a host cell to replicate, while animal and plant cells are living organisms that can function independently. Animal cells typically lack a cell wall and chloroplasts, which are present in plant cells. Additionally, plant cells have larger vacuoles and contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis, which animal cells do not have.
Why are the wounds required for successful transmission of plant viruses?
Wounds are required for successful transmission of plant viruses because they provide an entry point for the virus to bypass the plant's protective barriers, such as the cell wall and plasma membrane. When a plant is injured, it can release cellular contents that facilitate virus movement and replication. Additionally, vectors like insects often introduce viruses through feeding wounds, enabling direct access to the plant's vascular system. This mechanism highlights the interplay between plant stress and viral infection.
How do insects spread plant viruses?
Insects can spread plant viruses by acting as vectors, carrying the virus from infected plants to healthy ones as they feed on plant sap. When an insect feeds on an infected plant and then moves to a healthy plant, it can deposit the virus into the healthy plant's tissues through its feeding activities, thereby spreading the virus to new hosts.
Why can you get a virus from animals but animals can not get a virus from people?
Animals can get viruses from humans, but it's not as common due to evolutionary differences between species. Some viruses may not be able to cross the species barrier easily, while others may not cause severe illness in animals. However, viruses like flu can sometimes transmit between humans and animals.
What is the relationship between virus and a host cell?
Parasitic
The difference between vertical and horizontal transmission of plant viruses is that?
The correct reponse is that vertical transmission is transmission of a virus from a parent plant to its progeny, and horizontal transmission is one plant spreading the virus to another plant.
Is virus a plant or an animal?
Virus is neither a plant nor an animal it is actually in between living and non-living organisms. but it is been classified under botany.

What was the first plant virus to be identified?
Tobacco Mosaic Virus.
Is seaweed a virus?
No its a plant that grows at the bottom of the ocean. Not a virus.
What the diffence between bactria vs virus?
well i know one differences is Bactria can be removed from the body. the body can't get rid of a virus. even if you are not showing symptoms of it any longer you can still be a carrier.
What was the first plant virus ever identified?
Tobacco Mosaic Virus
What is the differences between antiviral drug and vaccines?
An antiviral acts to kill a virus already present in the body. A vaccine helps your body fight off the virus so it never gets into your body in the first place.
What has the author F C Bawden written?
F. C. Bawden has written: 'Plant diseases' 'Plant viruses and virus diseases' 'Plant viruses and plant diseases' 'Plant viruses and virus diseases' 'Plant Diseases' 'Plant diseases'
Can a plant get a virus?
Many. Google tobacco mosaic virus.
Are virus plant or animal?
Major differences are- 1)most plant viruses are with plus sense s.sRNA although there are exeptions whereas animal viruses can be d.s/s.sDNA or RNA viruses..2)plant virus always needs insect vector,whereas animal virus may enter body through various means.3)plant virus always needs a mechanical damage in cell wall of plant to enter.
Is poison oak a bacteria or a virus?
Poison oak is a green plant, not a bacteria or virus.
