Any microbe that was pathogenic (is a virus) cannot survive for very long in the open environment. Viruses reproduce by infecting a host-cell and injecting it with it's own DNA, so long as the cell belongs to a carbon-based life form. Meaning, a virus can only reproduce inside of a living cell belonging to a living thing. What's alive inside floor-cloth, then? Dust mites. Millions of them. They, on a slightly smaller scale, are still a good bit bigger than a pathogen, but can still carry / obtain them as easily as you can.
What else can I help you with?
Are bacteria microbes?
Yes, bacteria are a type of microbe. Microbes are microscopic organisms that include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protists. Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that can be found in various environments and play important roles in the ecosystem.
ARE Viruses are a type of cell?
The type of cells that viruses live in are host cells. Viruses need host cells in order to reproduce or multiply.
What type of microbe causes fungi?
There are six main types of microbes. Fungi is a microbe, with the other five being archaea, bacteria, protista, viruses and microbial mergers.
What are microbes and what are the 3 types?
Microbes are microscopic organisms that can be found everywhere in the environment. The three main types of microbes are bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Each type has unique characteristics and roles in ecosystems and for human health.
Do viruses reproduce asexually or sexually?
Viruses reproduce within a cell. They reproduce asexually. The Ebola virus reproduces asexually. However, sometimes a cell is infected by two different viruses at the same time. Part or parts of one virus can get into another virus. So while the reproduction is not really sexual, it does involve parts from two different viruses. The Ebola virus could change by adding parts from another virus.
Are bacteria microbes?
Yes, bacteria are a type of microbe. Microbes are microscopic organisms that include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protists. Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that can be found in various environments and play important roles in the ecosystem.
What type of virus is the most intelligent?
Viruses have no intelligence. They act on the instinct to survive and reproduce.
How viruses use the cells of living organisms to reproduce. What is the type of cell used by the virus called?
host
Bacteria and viruses do not have a nucleus what helps them reproduce?
Bacteria are prokaryotic type of organisms. They reproduce by binary fission. In place of nucleus, they have a single DNA molecule called nucleoid. Viruses are living only inside a cell. They divide by producing multiple copies of their DNA.
Are germs microbes?
yes because germs and microbes are carrying the same bacteria
ARE Viruses are a type of cell?
The type of cells that viruses live in are host cells. Viruses need host cells in order to reproduce or multiply.
What type of microbe causes fungi?
There are six main types of microbes. Fungi is a microbe, with the other five being archaea, bacteria, protista, viruses and microbial mergers.
Viruses and bacteria are which type of living thing?
Bacteria and viruses are small and can only be seen through a microscope. The small living things are microorganisms or microbes. Some people do not think viruses are living things because they are acellular particles. They consider them to be an organic structure that interacts with living organisms.
Where does a virus multiplied?
Viruses can only multiply (reproduce) within a host cell. The type of host cell is dependent on the virus' host range.
What type of organism requires a host cell?
Viruses require a host cell to replicate and reproduce. They inject their genetic material into the host cell where it instructs the cell to make new virus particles.
What are microbes and what are the 3 types?
Microbes are microscopic organisms that can be found everywhere in the environment. The three main types of microbes are bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Each type has unique characteristics and roles in ecosystems and for human health.
What type of virus infect bacteria?
Bacteriophage
