Is it true that viruses have complex membranes that control what moves in and out of their cells?
Viruses do not have complex membranes like eukaryotic organisms have. Viruses also do not have cells, nor are they technically living organisms. There is no need for viruses to control the movement of material in and out of the viral particles.
Which is different between bacteria and viruses that shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses are not?
Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.
Viruses are single celled organisms?
No. Viruses are not cells. They invade cells to get the materials to copy their DNA. Many people do not consider viruses to be truly alive.
What characteristic applies to all 3 domains and viruses?
All three domains of life—Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya—share the characteristic of being composed of cells, which are the basic units of life. Additionally, viruses, although not classified as living organisms, possess genetic material (DNA or RNA) and can evolve, similar to cellular organisms. This shared feature of genetic material underscores the fundamental biological processes of replication and evolution across all domains and viruses.
Why do biologist consider viruses to be no living?
Biologists consider viruses to be non-living because they lack the cellular structure and metabolic processes characteristic of living organisms. Viruses cannot reproduce independently; they require a host cell to replicate and carry out their life cycle. Additionally, they do not exhibit growth, respond to stimuli, or maintain homeostasis, which are key features of life. As a result, viruses are often classified as complex molecules or biological entities rather than living organisms.
What are the differences between properties of viruses and properties of organisms?
viruses are on the borderline of living and non living while organisms are living, viruses are simple structured, they have a DNA strand surrounded by a protein coat and sometimes a tail while organisms consist of complex cells
What is the largest cell number in viruses?
viruses are unicellular organisms
What are the differances viruses and bacteria?
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms
How are viruses like organisms?
Well, if you consider a cell a living organism, then yes. A virus is a living organism because, like cells, they usually regulate in your body. On a certain basis, viruses can be extremely harmful, causing sickness among its host. Otherwise, viruses are injected inside a host(viruses are already dead) to help prevent illness and create an immunity.
Is it true that viruses have complex membranes that control what moves in and out of their cells?
Viruses do not have complex membranes like eukaryotic organisms have. Viruses also do not have cells, nor are they technically living organisms. There is no need for viruses to control the movement of material in and out of the viral particles.
What are properties of viruses?
viruses are non cellular , they have no sexual or asexual reproduction they reproduce by replication
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.
Are viruses considered microbes?
Yes, viruses are considered microbes because they are microscopic organisms that are capable of causing infections in living organisms.
How are viruses and organisms different?
Viruses are things that spread and contain germs. An Organism is a living thing.
