Viruses In computer technology‚ viruses are vicious software programs‚ a form of malware. Viruses exist on local disk drives and spread from one computer to another through the sharing of the infected files. Regular methods for spreading viruses include floppy disks‚ FTP file transfers‚ and copying files between shared network drives. Once installed on a computer‚ a virus may change or remove application and system files. Some viruses can leave a computer inoperable; others just display startling

debate about whether viruses are alive or not. Viruses are what makes you sick such as Influenza‚ Ebola‚ HIV‚ Mumps‚ and the common cold. Some scientists argue that viruses are not alive. Yet‚ there have been some new studies that show that viruses may in fact be alive. After finding out the facts‚ you can decide if viruses are living. Many scientists are more willing to accept the theory that viruses are not alive. The main piece of evidence that supports this theory is that viruses can not reproduce

Case Study: Are Viruses Living? Dear Students‚ You came to me asking a question that has puzzled mankind ever since we have discovered them. Are viruses alive? Are the chicken pox‚ flu‚ HIV‚ and H1N1 viruses living? They are among the smallest microbes‚ but they can make people fell ill. So are they living or not? In my opinion‚ viruses are not alive. All living things have the same basic characteristics. According to Document B‚ organisms maintain homeostasis. Also‚ living creatures

The role of bacteria in the soil Bacteria in the soil play key role in recycling matter in to useful nutrients which can be used by growing plants. This process of recycling matter in the soil by living organisms is called biogeochemical cycle. Bacteria are improving plants growth in other ways too‚ for example bacteria‚ such as Rhizobium‚ are in symbiotic relationship with the root system of some terrestrial plants. The most important elements‚ which allow terrestrial plants grow well‚ are

Microbiology‚ 2002. vol.3. Temperature and bacteria The lowest temperature at which a particular species will grow is the minimum growth temperature‚ while the maximum growth temperature is the highest temperature at which they will grow. The temperature at which their growth is optimal is called the optimum growth temperature. In general‚ the maximum and minimum growth temperatures of any particular type of bacteria are about 30°F (-1°C) apart. Most bacteria thrive at temperatures at or around that

Livja Koka Anaerobic Bacteria In this experiment the purpose is to seek understanding between an organism and its use of oxygen. Oxygen is a very important part of the organisms’ survival. Oxygen has a tendency to form very reactive by-products inside a cell. These by-products create havoc by reacting with protein and DNA‚ thus inactivating them. Cells that are able to live in the presence of oxygen have evolved enzymes to cope with H2O2 and O2- and thus are not inhibited by O2. Also many anaerobes

gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria are and what it’s composed of. Gram-positive bacteria take up the class of bacteria that stain crystal violet in the method of bacterial differentiation. Where gram-negative bacteria are a class of bacteria that does not retain crystal violet. Instead they are counter-stained pink by Safranin‚ and because of this‚ identifying positive is possible. One of the many differences between gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria is their peptidoglycan. Which are

* Fungi are Eukaryotic‚ mainly multi cellular organisms includes molds and mushrooms * fungi lack chlorophyll * they are heterotrophic and cell walls contain chitin * more closely related to animals * supergroup Unikonta categorized as opisthokonts bc of single posterior flagellum * heterotrophs‚ secrete enzymes which digest food outside the body‚ the broken down food is then absorbed by hyphae * 3 types of fungi * decomposer fungi‚ absorb nutrients
