All viruses thrive on killing cells, and the only common point of functions of all viruses is killing protists, fungi, bacteria or even other viruses.
A virus injects it's own DNA or RNA into a living cell, tricking the cell to start replicating the virus. After some time, the cell becomes bloated with the newly created viruses, and bursts. Now the new viruses continue the process.
A computer virus? Well, it can get in all you documents and files and prevent you from going on anything in your computer. Then you'll have to get it fixed and it's quite expensive. so it's best if you've got that thing where it tells you if something is dodgy or not, or do a McAfee scan or something. :)

What can viruses attach themselves to?
Viruses can attach themselves to host cells, bacteria, fungi, and other viruses for the purpose of infecting and replicating within these organisms. They require a specific receptor on the surface of the target cell to bind and gain entry for their replication process.
What is produced by cells infected with viruses?
More viruses. Cells infected with virus DNA are essentially converted into virus factories. Instead of producing the materials the cell needs to reproduce, it produces dormant viruses, until the cell bursts and the new viruses begin infecting other cells.
Why do viruses not cause decay?
Viruses do not cause decay because they are not capable of carrying out metabolic activities on their own. Decay is typically caused by bacteria and fungi that can break down organic matter. Viruses rely on infecting host cells to replicate and do not have the ability to break down complex organic material.
Viruses cannot do what?
They can not reproduce without a host as reproductive vector. They have no metabolism and do not preform cellular functions. Viruses are genetic material enclosed in a protein capsid.
What eat bacterias and virus?
Bacteria can be consumed by other microorganisms like protists and fungi, as well as by certain animals like amoebas. Viruses are not considered living organisms and do not have a metabolism to be "eaten" in the traditional sense. However, viruses rely on infecting host cells to replicate and spread.
What particles reproduce that are made up of nucleic acids proteins and sometimes lipids only infecting living cells?
Viruses are particles that reproduce by infecting living cells. They consist of nucleic acids, proteins, and sometimes lipids.
What does translation inhibitory protein do?
TIP blocks viruses from infecting new cells
What are viruses that infect bacteria called?
the virus that infects bacteria is bacteriophage
Paritcle of nucleic acid and protein that can reproduce only by infecting living cells?
These are called viruses.
Why are viruses effective as vectors?
Viruses have proven to be highly effective as vectors since these are biological entities with a natural function of infecting host cells.
What can viruses attach themselves to?
Viruses can attach themselves to host cells, bacteria, fungi, and other viruses for the purpose of infecting and replicating within these organisms. They require a specific receptor on the surface of the target cell to bind and gain entry for their replication process.
How do viruses grow and develop over time?
Viruses grow and develop by infecting host cells and using their machinery to replicate. They can mutate and evolve over time, leading to new strains and variations.
How do you prevent computer viruses infecting your computer?
nhh
Do Antibodies prevent pathogens from infecting other cells.?
Yes. Antibodies do prevent pathogens from infecting other cells.
How are virus cultured?
Viruses can be cultured in tissue or cell media.
What is produced by cells infected with viruses?
More viruses. Cells infected with virus DNA are essentially converted into virus factories. Instead of producing the materials the cell needs to reproduce, it produces dormant viruses, until the cell bursts and the new viruses begin infecting other cells.
What two ways does your body keep viruses from infecting you?
One of the ways that the body keeps the virus from infecting you is through the antibodies and immune cells that begin the immune action. The other way is through special protein of the mucosa membrane or the respiratory tract secretion that retains certain viruses. Fever is another protective factor as viruses cannot multiply at high temperature. Consult a doctor for more information.
