What else can I help you with?
What contains enzymes that are used to degrade foreign particles as well as cell structures?
Lysosomes contain enzymes that are used to degrade foreign particles as well as cell structures. These enzymes help break down substances such as bacteria, viruses, and damaged organelles within the cell.
How do the small viruses in your body help denatured viruses to rebuild?
Small viruses, often referred to as bacteriophages or other benign viruses, can play a role in the ecosystem of your microbiome by influencing the behavior of denatured viruses. They can help by providing genetic material or enzymes that facilitate the rebuilding or repair of damaged viral structures. Additionally, these small viruses can stimulate immune responses or other cellular mechanisms that may assist in the recovery process of denatured viruses. However, the specific interactions can be complex and vary based on the types of viruses and host cells involved.
Why are viruses difficult to target therapeutically?
Viruses use their host's metabolic enzymes and some viruses mutate very quickly so they can easily become resistant to drugs. Viruses are almost biologically inert until they infect a cell.
What organisms make restriction enzymes?
Originally restriction enzymes (RE) are isolated from Bacteria and Archaea. Microorganisms uses REs to protect themselves from the viral infection. For example EcoRI is isolated from E.colianbd BamHI is found in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. With the advent of rDNA technology these enzymes are now being produced in lab organisms by cloning and expression.
Are Viruses structurally organized?
Yes, viruses are structurally organized with genetic material (RNA or DNA) enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid. Some viruses also have an outer lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane. These structures help viruses infect host cells and replicate.
What contains enzymes that are used to degrade foreign particles as well as cell structures?
Lysosomes contain enzymes that are used to degrade foreign particles as well as cell structures. These enzymes help break down substances such as bacteria, viruses, and damaged organelles within the cell.
Why do bacteria naturally contain restriction enzymes?
Restriction enzymes are the bacteria's form of an 'immune system' against viruses (which can infect bacteria). When viruses try to insert their own DNA into a bacteria's genome, the restriction enzymes detect this foreign DNA and cut it out so that the viruses can't replicate and kill the cell.
What are common things that are noncellular?
Common noncellular things include viruses, prions, and some molecules like hormones and enzymes. These entities lack the structures and machinery found in cells, yet they can interact with cellular processes and affect cellular function.
What 2 structures do all viruses have?
All viruses have nucleic acid and a protien coat called a capsid
Is viruses a producer or consumer?
Neither - viruses do not eat. There are debates about whether viruses are a form of life, or organic structures that interact with living organisms.
Computers are susceptible to viruses unless they are protected by special software and firewalls.?
Computers are susceptible to viruses unless they are protected by special software and firewalls.
Why are viruses difficult to target therapeutically?
Viruses use their host's metabolic enzymes and some viruses mutate very quickly so they can easily become resistant to drugs. Viruses are almost biologically inert until they infect a cell.
What are the four ways to name a virus?
Major groups of viruses are distinguished first by their nucleic acid content as either RNA or DNA viruses. Subsequent subdivisions are based largely on other properties of nucleic acids. The RNA viruses can be single-stranded (ssRNA) or double-stranded (dsRNA), although most are single-stranded. Because most eukaryotic cells do not have the enzymes to copy viral RNA molecules, the RNA viruses must either carry the enzymes or have the genes for those enzymes as part of their genes. Like RNA viruses, DNA viruses can also occur in single-stranded or double-stranded form.
Do viruses use their own catabolic enzymes?
Yes. Viruses contain enzymes that allows it to reproduce in the host cell. For instance, retrovirus HIV has reverse transcriptase which is unique to HIV and is used to form double stranded DNA from RNA template.
What organisms make restriction enzymes?
Originally restriction enzymes (RE) are isolated from Bacteria and Archaea. Microorganisms uses REs to protect themselves from the viral infection. For example EcoRI is isolated from E.colianbd BamHI is found in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. With the advent of rDNA technology these enzymes are now being produced in lab organisms by cloning and expression.
Why do restriction enzymes cut DNA?
Restriction enzymes cut DNA to protect the organism from foreign DNA, such as viruses, by breaking it into smaller pieces that can be destroyed or rendered harmless.
What structures do viruses have that allow them to identify a specific type of cell and attach to it?
good
