Biology
1 answer:
vlabodo [156]4 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer: </u>

Viral infections are difficult to defend as viruses are attacked by a nonspecific immune response.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • Viral infections often tend to weaken the immune system of the body by turning it incapable of fighting the virus.
  • Any external drug administered to fight the virus also leaves an impact on the beneficial cells causing them to cause side effects.
  • The response of the immune system to the virus often fails to address the root of the virus and hence, the virus keeps growing stronger.

kondor19780726 [428]
A virus is a tiny organism and may lead to mild-severe illnesses in animals or plants or humans.

Biologically we can term virus as a bit of RNA or DNA in a protein coat. It cannot replicate without another organism.

If we use an image of indicator, we may say yes virus is living. This is because the virus particle is non-cellular but has an NDA core.This core is enclosed in a protein coat and it has spike-like projections in all over its surface.
