    it doesnt even look like a cell, it looks like a machine

    Viruses can’t really move on their own. They just drift along, and once they land on something, they encode their DNA into whatever cell they landed on

    Especially considering the fact that it’s made up of only a few million atoms, if I remember correctly…

    its really creepy how that virus looks and acts like some sort of machine.

    BACTERIA!You dont see them!But they are there!

    Hah, I KNEW these things “looked” like some kind of insect, disgusting! But very interesting, too, how did they do this? It’s actually “just” a computer simulation, isn’t it?

    actually, bacteriophage are beneficial to health, because the can target germ cells and neutralize them before we get sick

    hahahah

    Bacteriophages look like little space ships, huh?

  13. 33Bubblewrap says:

    The virus injects its DNA into the bacteria, it basically just takes over all the cell’s functions. The cell starts to create all the virus’ proteins and genetic material which assembles into new viruses. Then there are too many viruses that the cell bursts open and the viruses flee out of it. Damn little bastards. Hahaha.

    its injecting its DNA into the cell and since the cell has to do wat ever the DNA tells it to do. the cell makes more and more cells then eventually creating millions of the same harmful DNA. thats how the T4 works and how you get sick.

    T4 bacteriophages are soo cool looking. I want to have an artist custom-make me some bacteriophage earrings. Viruses are rockin’ the geometric look.

    dude basic bio teaches that skin is a layer of dead cells that acts as a physical barrier to the surroundings.

  18. mermaidstars123123 says:

    yeah even more dangerous when you get
    it on your hand SKIN IS LIKE TISSUE!!!!
    And it will go in you blood stream until you have WHITE BLOOD cells in your body!!! Sorry if its like i’m shouting to you.

    omg it just drilled a hole and pooped in it wtf

  22. Simon6663 says:

    @xoxoRiverTamxoxo thats not correct, you cannot get aids by coming in contact with someones blood, it must enter your body, if you get it on your hands you won’t get infected

  23. nlty2000 says:

    omg
    drilling for oil
