Virus does not have a 'cell' membrane in the sense of a phospholipid bilayer, and virus is not commonly defined as a cellular organism by convention anyways (therefore the debate about whether a virus is alive). Most virus, however, do possess an outer protein coat that protects its genetic material.</

What makes a cell increase in size faster the cell membrane or the cell contents?
a virus
What advantage does a virus have when invading an organism if it incorporates part of a host cell membrane into its envelope?
Envelopes aid the virus in entering the host's cells. Glycoproteins on the envelope's surface are unique to the virus. They identify and bind to receptor sites on the host's cell membrane.
What does the membrane envelope do on a virus?
This membrane envelope is taken from the last victim of the virus as it exits the cell and contains general identification proteins and docking proteins that the virus can use to gain entry to another cell. The AIDS virus use a docking analogue to dock in the CD4 protein docking area of a T-cell, this facilitates it's entry into the T-cell.
What controls the materials going in and out of a cell?
The Cell Membrane Makes Sure that the materials going in and out of the cell are not harmful, such as a virus.
What property of a virus determines its attachment to a host cell membrane?
The protein arrangement on the capsid.
A Virus Has No Outer Membrane Is it a cell?
Virus have no cells
The capsid of a virus is the?
the protection of a cell
What is the first event that occurred when a virus infects the host cell?
The virus attaches to the host cells membrane.
What makes a cell increase in size faster the cell membrane or the cell contents?
a virus
What is it called when a virus attached to host cell injects its nucleic acid into the host cell then makes more viruses?
Attachment, or adsorption, occurs between the virus and the host cell membrane. A hole forms in the cell membrane, then the virus particle or its genetic contents are released into the host cell, where viral reproduction may begin.

Does a virus contain a cell membrane?
Viruses are not organized as cells and therefore do not contain cell membranes. However, certain animal viruses are found enveloped with a phospholipid outer coat

How is a virus different from eukaryote?
A virus is considers a prokaryotic cell which only contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm and the DNA scattered in the cytoplasm. It is also a few times smaller than an eukaryotic cell which mostly contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm and a nucleus that contains the DNA.
What are the differences between a virus and a eukaryote?
a virus has no membrane bound organelles,whereas a typical eukaryotic cell has membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria. A virus destroys a cell by replicating itself and assembling new viruses inside the host cell until it bursts, releasing hundreds of new viruses
What is the first event that occurs when a viruse a virus infects a host cell?
the virus attaches to the host cells membrane
