In your own words, how does a virus work?

Biology
1 answer:
Rina8888 [55]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

viruses are very small -- 100 times smaller than the average bacterium, so small that they can't be seen with an ordinary microscope. Viruses can only exert influence by invading a cell, because they're not cellular structures. They lack the ability to replicate on their own, so viruses are merely tiny packets of DNA or RNA genes enfolded in a protein coating, on the hunt for a cell they can dominate.

Nady [450]

Answer:

thermophile.

Explanation:

A thermophile is a kind of bacteria that belongs to the Archaea Domain and they are the kind of animals that can live in a region of high or extreme temperature. There has been a research on a kind of thermophile which is known as Methanopyrus kandleri which can exist in an extreme temperature of up to 500° C.

So, if we take a look at the question again we can see that after 48 hours and at 37°C 20,000 bacteria per milliliter are already in the tube and at more higher temperature of 55°C we have 1,568,000 bacteria per milliliter which means that at higher temperature more of the bacterial is produced.
