Computer Viruses

Viruses are not solid objects. They are microscopic infectious agents that consist of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat. They are considered to be particles rather than solid structures.

DNA or RNA + Structural Proteins + Enzymes and nucleic acid binding proteins = Nucleocapsid (may be the same as a virion or surrounded by an envelope)

If there is only a Nucleocapsid, then it is considered a Naked Capsid Virus

If there is a Nucleocapsid with the addition of Glycoproteins and a Membrane, then the virus is considered enveloped.

No, viruses do not have the ability to perform photosynthesis. Viruses are considered to be non-living entities that require a host cell to replicate and carry out their life cycle. Photosynthesis is a process unique to plants, algae, and some bacteria that enables them to convert sunlight into energy.

Bacteriophage
A bacteriophage (from 'bacteria' and Greek φᾰγεῖν phagein "to eat") is any one of a number of viruses that infect bacteria. Bacteriophages are among the most common organisms on Earth.The term is commonly used in its shortened form, phage.

Typically, bacteriophages consist of an outer protein capsid enclosing genetic material. The genetic material can be ssRNA, dsRNA, ssDNA, or dsDNA ('ss-' or 'ds-' prefix denotes single-strand or double-strand) between 5,000 and 500,000 nucleotides long with either circular or linear arrangement. Bacteriophages are much smaller than the bacteria they destroy - usually between 20 and 200 nm in size.

Phages are estimated to be the most widely distributed and diverse entities in the biosphere. Phages are ubiquitous and can be found in all reservoirs populated by bacterial hosts, such as soil or the intestines of animals. One of the densest natural sources for phages and other viruses is sea water, where up to 9×108 virions per milliliter have been found in microbial mats at the surface, and up to 70% of marine bacteria may be infected by phages.

They have been used for over 60 years as an alternative to antibiotics in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. They are seen as a possible therapy against multi drug resistant strains of many bacteria.

because they want to make more of their kind

Viruses must infect a host cell in order to replicate. Once inside the host cell, the virus can hijack the cell's machinery to produce new viral particles. Without a host cell, viruses are unable to replicate.

Genus and Family are different levels in the classification system used to distinguish all the organism we encounter. The hierarchy (ordered from most general to most specific) is as follows:

Kingdom -> Phylum -> Class -> Order -> Family -> Genus -> Species

Yes. Mycoviruses are viruses that infect certain fungi including mushrooms/toadstools, moulds like penicillin, and mycorrhizae. They can therefore affect production of edible mushrooms, penicillin and plants that benefit from useful symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi on their roots.

Animals are often exploited for their labor, such as in agriculture or entertainment industries, where they are forced to work for human benefit. They are also exploited for their resources, such as in the fur and leather industries. Additionally, animals are exploited in scientific research where they may be subjected to harmful experiments.

Viruses are incredibly small - much smaller than the smallest of bacteria, even though many millions of bacteria could fit on a pinhead. Therefore viruses can only be seen with the help of a very powerful microscope such as a scanning ellectron microscope.

Exploitive and exploitative both drive from the word exploit. The only difference is that exploitative is an adjective and exploitative is an adverb.

Viruses are unable to replicate on their own and require a host cell to do so. Once inside a host cell, a virus hijacks the cell's machinery to produce more copies of itself.

Some characteristics of a computer include processing power, storage capacity, input/output devices, operating system, connectivity options, and the ability to run software applications. Additionally, computers can vary in size, form factor, and portability.

Viruses are non-living entities that require a host cell to replicate. They contain genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses can cause a wide range of diseases in various organisms.

Turn off the air conditioner to allow the line to defrost. Check for any blockages or restrictions that may be causing the freezing, such as a dirty air filter or low refrigerant levels. Once the line has thawed completely, you can turn the air conditioner back on and monitor it for any further issues.

Harmful bacteria may contaminate the food if air is forcefully expelled from a can when opened. This can cause foodborne illnesses. Additionally, the abrupt release of pressure can pose a risk of injury if the contents spray out unexpectedly. It's best to discard any canned food that sprays upon opening.

It seems like you are referring to the concept of computer viruses being activated or active on a system. It's important to have up-to-date antivirus software to protect your devices from these threats. Be cautious of clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files to prevent virus infections.

Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) discovered bacteria, free-living and parasitic microscopic protists, sperm cells, blood cells, microscopic nematodes and rotifers, and much more with the microscopes he made. He referred to these organisms as animalcules. His research, which was widely circulated, opened up an entire world of microscopic life to the awareness of scientists.

Here is a list of 10 different computer viruses. The storm virus, Sasser virus, Nimda virus, Melissa virus, Code Red 1 and 2 virus, Morris virus, ILOVEYOU virus, Brain computer virus, Conflicker, and Elk cloner are 10 different computer viruses.

Implementing coercive control tactics and psychological manipulation to maintain power and control over the victim. This can involve threats, isolation, gaslighting, and other manipulative behaviors to ensure the victim stays trapped in the exploitative relationship. Furthermore, the captor may use physical violence or other forms of abuse to reinforce their dominance and keep the victim compliant.

A polymorphic virus is an advanced type of computer virus. It is similar to an encrypted virus in that it consists of an encrypted copy of the virus and a small decrypting module but every time a polymorphic virus infects a file it encrypts itself differently and rewrites the decrypting module. A well written polymorphic virus therefore has no parts that remain the same between infections making it hard for anti-virus software to detect using virus signatures.

Yes, they implant their DNA into a cell. The DNA tells the cell to replicate the virus inside itself. When the cell is full of the virus, it explodes, releasing viruses all around the targeted area.

Viruses hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate their own genetic material, produce new virus particles, and eventually cause the host cell to burst, releasing the new viruses to infect other cells. This process ultimately leads to cell death and can cause harm to the larger organism.

A virus is much smaller than a human cell, typically ranging in size from 20 to 400 nanometers, while a human cell can range from 10 to 30 micrometers in size. This size difference is due to the simpler structure of a virus, which consists of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat, compared to the complex organelles and structures found within a human cell.

Many types of virus can be identified experimentally either by there morphology using a scanning electron microscope(SEM) which allows for the detection of the number of capsomers and overall shape and symmetry of the virus. Or by an ELISA type testing based on antigen specificity.

You can only identify a virus through a scanning electron microscope, because they are much smaller than bacteria and cannot be seen by the naked eye.
