Microbiology - Viruses - Discussion

Viruses do not, however, carry out metabolic processes. Most notably, viruses differ from living organisms in that they cannot generate ATP. Viruses also do not possess the necessary machinery for translation, as mentioned above. They do not possess ribosomes and cannot independently form proteins from molecules of messenger RNA. Because of these limitations, viruses can replicate only within a living host cell. Therefore, viruses are obligate intracellular parasites. According to a stringent definition of life, they are nonliving.

The correct answer is A, because viruses do not have cytoplasmic organelles hence lack ribosomes for synthesis of protein. Therefore viruses are active in a living cell so they utilize the host's ribosomes for the synthesis of their protein.

Correct, virus is protein synthesis, in order of translation take place, it is a transcript to get information from the chromosome, then it will create more virus.

Correct answer is A because virus is transcript the protein and then help of ribosomes for synthesis RNA.

Option D should be right because viruses lack the biosynthetic machinery for any of the above process.

It also do not generate alcohol according to my knowledge so answer is both A and C.

I have choose option C because as I now it can not generate alcohol.

Answer is "D", because virus can't form anything.

It is 100% right.

So the question is this now is it generate carbohydrate.
