Question

How are virus different from other microbes?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Viruses are ultramicroscopic organisms that are visible only through electron microscope. They are smaller than bacteria. They cannot reproduce by their own as they lack the required machinery for replication. Therefore, they need to infect a host cell. The virus gets inside the host cells and makes hundred and thousands of copies of itself by using the host machinery.

Hope you got the answer,

Cheers!
