The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell. This capsid is left behind. If the capsid has an envelope, that is also left behind. The DNA or RNA enters the cell.

When a phage attaches to a bacterium what does the phage inject and what stays attached to the cell?
The part that remains outside is called the capsid or protein coat.
Additional steps that occur when a hidden virus multiplies?
The virus's genetic material becomes part of the genetic material of the bacterium And After some time he virus's genetic material removes itself and becomes active
What part of the bacterium allows it to recognize different substances in the outside environment?
cell membrane
Is human papilloma virus viral or bacterial?
HPV is a virus, not a bacterium. It is a DNA virus, part of the Papova family and Papilloma genus. It has a circular ring of DNA, is icosahedron shaped and quite small (50 diameter).
Is the genetic material in a virus inside or outside the proteins parts?
Inside the protein part... The genetic material is sorrounded by the protein :):)

Does Measles go through the lysogenic life cycle or lytic life cycle?
tuberculosis is caused by a bacterium. lytic and lysogeinc cycles are a part of viral life-cycle.
When a virus takes over a cell what part of the virus takes over the cells functions?
The easiest way to understand how viruses replicate is to study the life cycles of viruses called bacteriophages (bacteria eaters). Bacteriophages replicate by either a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle. The difference in these two cycles is that the cell dies at the end of the lytic cycle or the cell remains in the lysogenic cycle. The virus remains "hidden".
What is it called when a virus changes?
A single virus remains unchanged over whatever period of time its a virus (which can be many years) but mutations are common during its "reproductive" cycle ... after all, it essentially dissolves in the process, becoming a part of the host cell.
How did the bad E. coli develop?
a long-ago cell appears to have been infected with a bacterial virus. This particular virus had the ability to insert its own DNA into the bacteria's chromosome without harming the bacterium - and to remain there. Now, every time this bacterial cell divided, the virus DNA, being now a part of the bacterial DNA, was passed on to every daughter cell
What is the executable part of a computer virus know as?
I believe the question you are asking is "What is the part of a computer virus that does damage known as?" since the entire virus is an executable. This part is known as the payload.
What part of the grain that remains after being refined?
The part of the grain that remains after being refined is the endosperm.
