Summary

A paper that goes in-depth into how a virus is different from a normal living organism. The task is to write an essay on how to identify the similarities and differences between a virus and a cell and answer some questions related to it....

Description

He took a part of the sick plant, and placed it in a concealed place with a healthy plant. He concludes that the sickness particles were so small, that a microscope couldn’t see them.

He was puzzled because living things couldn't “crystalize”, and form into some sort of sickness.

The two main parts are DNA, and a capsid protein.

While living things have cells, viruses do not.

The combination of chemical reactions to create energy for living things.

They use a host as their main source and suck out all of the hosts’ energy for their own.

By maintaining homeostasis, it can keep the balance of the body in a living thing, and help it to live.

Viruses don’t have a mechanism to maintain homeostasis, therefore they cannot even have homeostasis.

The hot pan’s energy rushes to the skin cells, and to the brain. As the brain gets the message, its saying “The pan is hot! It will burn you!” In this case, it’s an immediate response near a dangerous situation and causes alert in your body, therefore you pull your hand away.

It’s written in the DNA.

They contain DNA, and another form, RNA.

Sexual reproduction is when two organisms get together to create another organism like them. Asexual reproduction is when one organism copies themselves with the same traits and genetic material.

They use a host, and inject their genetic material into the host, causing them to reproduce more of the virus overtime.

They don’t grow or develop, only because they can copy themselves, but not increase in size, or develop into a “mature” virus.

It is driven by either mutations, or mistakes during the development process of the maturing.

Some evidence would be evolution from 3.5 billion years ago. Another would be human DNA from 6 million years ago.

They can allow themselves to spread by making more varieties of itself.

Viruses are not living things.

They use a host to spread their “own disease.”

They use a host as their main source for reproduction, spreading their own “species”. They use a host, and inject their genetic material into the host, causing them to reproduce more of the virus overtime.

They don’t have enough or too little energy to live.

They don’t use their own energy, and only the host provides it.

They don’t grow into “maturity,” or use metabolism/energy.

It can’t be identified as an “organism”.

It can’t reproduce like two organisms can, and it needs a host to do so.

It can’t “grow” and “use energy” like a normal organism.
