What are difference between macrophage and bacteriophage?

Answer 1

bacteriophage is a virus that kills bacteria

Answer 2

Macrophages are immune cells in the body that engulf and digest pathogens like bacteria. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. Macrophages are part of the immune response in animals, while bacteriophages are used in medical research and therapy to target specific bacteria.

Answer 3

the biral DNA that is embedded in the host's DNA is called a Prophage while Bacteriophage is a bacteria which is infected by virus

the first part is correct, a prophage is created when a bacteriophage inserts its DNA into the host cell...basically you have host DNA and bacteriophage DNA integrated together. This provides the bacteria with new properties and capabilities. A bacteriophage is actually a virus that specifically infects a bacteria. A bacteriophage may be referred to as a phage.

Answer 4

A prophage is viral genetic material ( DNA ) inseted into bacterial DNA so that when the bacteria replicates the virus gets replicated along with the bacterial DNA. Called the lysogenic cycle. A bacteriophage is the whole virus that attacks bacteria and either goes into the lytic direct attack which destroys the bacterial DNA while the phage uses the cell machinery to replicate, or it inserts its own genetic material into the bacterial DNA in the lysogenic cycle becoming a prophage.

Answer 5

A virus is something that enters cells and causes them to reproduce/manufacture more of the virus in the ribosomes. The cells pop and the virus spreads. Viruses can be halted by the immune system and white blood cells. Bacteria can form to make a virus but other than that...pretty harmless.

Bacteria are alive. They can be killed and treated permanently. (you can cure a bacteria disease.)

Viruses are not alive. They can't be killed. They can be treated and their symptoms may be treated but they cant be cured. AIDS,Flu, and The Cold are Viruses.

Answer 6

A bacteriophage is a virus that infects bacteria. Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic cells.

Answer 7

bacteriophage is a virus which kills bacteria

Answer 8

Macrophages are monocytes which is a type of a white blood cell that wats foreign material. A bacteriophage is one of the shapes of a virus that inserts its piece of viral DNA into the bacteria cell to replicate its DNA and infect the body. So macrophages are responsible for cleaning up the mess bacteriophages made.
