• What is a virus? What are its components/structure and how does it affect the human immune system? • What is the difference between a virus and a bacterium?
• Identify three ways that viruses and infectious diseases can be transmitted to humans and from human to human contact.

Simple short and easy search it up but try to use your own words instead of copying straight from the internet please

Question 1 : A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. Viruses infect all types of life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea.

Question 2 (how does it affect the human immune system?) : Via cytotoxic cells. When a virus infects a person (host), it invades the cells of its host in order to survive and replicate. Once inside, the cells of the immune system cannot 'see' the virus and therefore do not know that the host cell is infected.

Question 3 (what are its components?) : The simplest virions consist of two basic components: nucleic acid (single- or double-stranded RNA or DNA) and a protein coat, the capsid, which functions as a shell to protect the viral genome from nucleases and which during infection attaches the virion to specific receptors exposed on the prospective host cell.

Question 4 (what is a viruses structure?) : All viruses contain nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA (but not both), and a protein coat, which encases the nucleic acid. ... Some viruses are also enclosed by an envelope of fat and protein molecules. In its infective form, outside the cell, a virus particle is called a virion.

Question 5 : As you might think, bacterial infections are caused by bacteria, and viral infections are caused by viruses. Perhaps the most important distinction between bacteria and viruses is that antibiotic drugs usually kill bacteria, but they aren't effective against viruses.

Question 6 : through the air, soiled objects, skin or mucous membrane, saliva, urine, blood and body secretions, through sexual contact, and through contaminated food and water.

Explanation:

italy's population growth rate is almost at zero, the national statistics agency, istat, said on monday, mainly due to a dwindling birth rate.
