How are viruses able to infect cells?

Biology
1 answer:
sasho [114]3 years ago

Answer: Viruses infect cells by entering the cell almost disguising itself as a positive cell or object if you will. Once the virus is inside and the cell absorbs it thinking it is food or something else god knows what, the virus then replicates its DNA into the cell, replacing the RNA and infecting the cell, which then begins to multiply. Good Luck!

In the 18th century, Carl Linnaeus published a system for classifying living things, which has been developed into the modern
Mazyrski [523]

Cavalier-Smith's model no longer separates prokaryotes and eukaryotes is the statement which differs from kingdom classification.

Explanation:

Cavalier-Smith in 1998 had reduced the kingdom numbers. The were brought down from 8 to 6. These are:

Animalia

Protozoa

fungi

plantae

chromista

bacteria

He divided eukaryotes into 6 kingdoms.  The kingdoms are refined for better classification.

While Carolus Linnaeus divided the organisms into two kingdoms

Animalia and plantae.

The five kingdom classification:

Monera (prpkaryotes)

Protista  ( unicellular eukaryotes)

fungi (multicellular decomposers)

plantae (multicellular producers)

Animalia (multicellular consumers)

It has drawbacks like in kingdom monera both autotrophs and heterotrophs  are included. Phylogeny is not explained in lower organisms of monera and protista. Virus is also in classification. Cavalier-Smith introduced a new kingdom called chromista which are single- celled or multicellular eukaryotic organisms as diatoms, algae, oomycetes and protozoans which perform photosynthesis.

Describe the control group for an experiment that examines the effect of fire intensity on the biodiversity of tree communities.
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

explanation below

Explanation:

The control group would be the biodiversity of the trees without the fire

The control group in the experiment would center on the biodiversity of the trees without the fire. Ideally, both the control group and the experimental groups are usually identical in every way except that the experimental group would receive the treatment that is believed to have an effect on the biodiversity of trees.

You are interested in obtaining Staphylococcus aureus for a study investigating the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylo
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

You are interested in obtaining Staphylococcus aureus for a study investigating the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the general population. You have received several samples and are ready to start your isolation procedures. Describe the personal protective equipment that would be needed and three different culturing techniques that can be used to obtain organisms to produce pure cultures. State if you use general or selective media and which specific media you would choose. How would you determine if the culture was contaminated? What is the first step you would take if you detected contamination?

Personal Protective equipment needed; No special precautions are necessary when working with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus aureus is a bio-safety level

Three different culturing media; to include;

  • Etest Method
  • Disc Diffusion
  • Latex Agglutination.

Properly enriched selective media is used.

The most accurate method for identifying Merthicillin-resistant staphylococcus is to test for the presence of mecA gene by PCR.

The best specific media is latex agglutination test and oxacillin salt agar screen.

How to determine if the culture was contaminated;

It can be spotted by the turbidity of the growth medium or the floating branching mycelia, bacteria contamination can be detected under 10× microscope within few days of contamination.

Step to take if contamination is detected;

Biological contamination is a serious issue and being able to correctly identify different types of contamination is an essential first step in ensuring the safety of your culture.

Explanation:

The literature on methicillin susceptible testing is extensive, and often conflicting in recommendations regarding the most important method for routine use. this is partly because the various studies of phenotypic methods have included different strains, which may differ significantly in heterogeneity and behave differently under particular test condition.
