What else can I help you with?
Does a virus need food warth and moisture to grow?
No, viruses do not grow in the same way that bacteria or fungi do. They need a host cell to replicate and spread. Once inside a host cell, viruses use the cell's machinery to make copies of themselves.
Is lytic cycle a virus or a bacteria?
The lytic cycle is a process that viruses use to replicate within a host cell. It is not a characteristic of bacteria.
A virus that infects bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages inject their genetic material into the bacteria and use the host's machinery to replicate. They are being studied for potential use in treating bacterial infections in humans.
Does bacteriophage feed on bacteria?
Yes, that is the meaning of the name " bacteriophage. " " bacteria eater. " Though they hijack the metabolic and replicative process of bacteria to replicate themselves and not actually eat the bacteria.
Which structure is used by hydrozoans to attach themselves to rocks?
This is the basal disc. It is useful in helping the hydrozoans stick to and stay on the rocks around them.
What tendril like projections that bacteria use to adhere to physical surfaces?
The tendril-like projections that bacteria use to adhere to physical surfaces are called pili or fimbriae. These structures play a key role in allowing bacteria to attach to host tissues or environmental surfaces, facilitating colonization and biofilm formation.

No, viruses do not grow in the same way that bacteria or fungi do. They need a host cell to replicate and spread. Once inside a host cell, viruses use the cell's machinery to make copies of themselves.
What part of lion is used to get their food?
Lions use their claws to attach themselves to their prey and use their jaws to suffocate them.
What is it called when some prokaryotes attach to other substrates by hairlike outgrowths which are shorter than flagella?
The hairlike outgrowths that some prokaryotes use to attach to substrates are called pili (or fimbriae). These structures are shorter than flagella and play a crucial role in adhesion to surfaces, including host tissues in pathogenic bacteria. Pili can also be involved in processes like conjugation, where genetic material is transferred between bacteria.
Is lytic cycle a virus or a bacteria?
The lytic cycle is a process that viruses use to replicate within a host cell. It is not a characteristic of bacteria.
Lampreys are parasites that attach themselves to other fishes by suckerlike mouths and they use their to scrape away the flesh?
teeth
What do spopnges use for movement?
Sponges use currents or contract their bodies to provide movement. Most will attach themselves to the bottom and stay there for the rest of their lives.
A virus that infects bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages inject their genetic material into the bacteria and use the host's machinery to replicate. They are being studied for potential use in treating bacterial infections in humans.
Can virus obtain and use energy?
No. Viruses do not have a metabolism. They rely on a host to do that.This is why they are not considered "living" creatures, but bacteria are.
This worm has two suckers and ingests blood from a host?
This description sounds like a leech. Leeches have two suckers - one at each end of their body - that they use to attach to their host and feed on blood.
How do ticks latch on to people?
Ticks use their specialized mouthparts to pierce the skin and attach themselves to a host. They secrete a cement-like substance to firmly anchor themselves in place, making it difficult to dislodge them. The mouthparts also contain barbs that help keep them attached while feeding on blood.
Why can you not kill flu with antibiotics?
Antibiotics are only for killing bacteria, they do not work on viruses which are the cause of the flu. Bacteria are living organisms and so poisons and chemicals can actually kill them. But flu viruses are non-living organisms so they can not be killed, they can only be inactivated by damage or physical blocking by antibodies (made by our immune systems) of the shapes of the structures viruses use to attach to a host's cells. Viruses need a host's cells to use to reproduce, if they can not attach to the cells, they will be inactivated. Antibiotics are not capable of inactivating them.
