What else can I help you with?
Viruses can reproduce only inside what?
host cells!
Characteristics of livivng and non-living viruses?
viruses are connecting link between living and non-living, as they show only one character of living biengs i.e. reproduction but that too is in inside living host cell otherwise they are consider as nonlivings
Once a virus has entered a living cell what does it force the cell to do?
Once inside a living cell, a virus hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate itself, producing more viruses. It does this by taking control of the cell's protein synthesis and genetic material, ultimately leading to the destruction of the host cell when the new viruses are released.
Can viruses copy themselves without a living host cell?
No, viruses cannot copy themselves without a living host cell. They rely on the machinery and resources of a host cell to replicate and reproduce. Without a host cell, viruses cannot carry out their life cycle.
WHY do viruses reproduce in the living cell?
to divide themselves
When are viruses active?
When it is inside a living cell.
Viruses are only active when?
They are active only when they are inside a living host cell.
Are Viruses able to reproduce without using other organisms?
viruses are dormant when they are not inside a living cell. that means they don't have living characteristics when outside a living cell. they only reproduce when they are inside a living cell.
When is the only time that viruses are active?
the virus is active when they are inside living things (host cell)
The phrase is not a cell but has the ability to reproduce within a living cell can be used to describe?
Viruses. Viruses are not considered living organisms, but they can replicate and reproduce inside living host cells by hijacking the cell's machinery. This process leads to the production of new virus particles, which can then infect other cells.
How viruses differ from living cell?
A virus is an inert chemical, with no metabolic activity, when it is not inside a cell. It cannot function on its own. Whereas with a living cell you always have a metabolism, even if the cell is part of a parasitic organism.
Viruses live and breed in what cells?
Viruses cannot live or breed on their own. Instead, they infect the cells of living organisms, such as animals, plants, and bacteria, to replicate and spread. Once inside a host cell, the virus hijacks the cell's machinery to reproduce more viruses.
Why viruses are difficult to classify as living organisms?
Viruses lack the cellular structure and independent metabolism typically found in living organisms. They can only replicate inside a host cell by hijacking the cell's machinery. This unique mode of reproduction blurs the line between living and non-living entities, making viruses challenging to classify definitively.
Viruses can reproduce only inside what?
host cells!
How are viruses like non living things?
Viruses are not alive. They are infectious particles. They hijack a living cell's DNA and force it to make viruses parts instead of living cell parts. The cell is made to assemble to parts and the new viruses bust out of the cell, killing it, and infect more cells.
Viruses depend on living things for what?
Viruses depend on living cells because they reproduce inside of them.
Do viruses only reproduce inside living things?
A Virus must invade a host cell in order to reproduce. What people commonly mix up with them is bacteria which has no need to
