How does an active virus multiply?
Once inside a cell, a virus's genetic material takes over of the cell's functions. It instructs the cell to produce the virus's proteins and genetic material. These proteins and genetic material then assemble into new viruses.
Viruses make the host cell produce new viruses which kills th host cell?
Active Viruses
What do mitochondria produce?
They produce ATP mainly.Also produce CO2 and proteins etc.
Is motion a function of proteins?
Yes; motor proteins produce motion.
What are the unicellular organisms that cause disease?
bacteriarickettsiaunicellular fungi (e.g. yeasts)viruses but they have no cellular structureviroidsprions (misfolded proteins)
Do viruses produce cellular proteins?
Viruses do produce cellular proteins that are necessary for viral synthesis.
Are viruses infection proteins?
Viruses are made up of proteins (capsid) and genetic material. Virus surface protein interact with its host cell receptors for the entry (1st step in infection). Viral particle can infect the host by inserting their genetic material in to the host genome. Host synthetic machinery produce viral proteins.
Do viruses have silica?
No. Viruses are composed of nucleic acids, proteins, and sometimes lipids.
Does virus makes the cell it is in produce more viruses?
Yes, viruses use the cell that it has invaded to produce more viruses.
What functions to produce proteins?
Ribosomes functions as factories to produce proteins.
What does c5h12 stand for?
the surface proteins on viruses
What is responsible for the specificity of viruses?
Viruses have proteins in their capsid which match proteins in the membrane of their preferred host. This produces the ability to "dock" and then enter the host cell.
Are there any organic compounds in viruses?
yes, viruses contain proteins and nucleic acid.
What organelles produce proteins in the cell?
Ribosomes produce the proteins needed in a cell
Do prokaryotic cells contain RNA?
Yes. RNA is used by cells to make proteins. All living organisms produce proteins. In addition to prokaryotes, some viruses only use RNA as genetic material, but use the host cell to produce the proteins. These are called retroviruses like HIV.
What do viruses completely lack the genes for synthesis of?
Proteins.
What are the Proteins called attack viruses and toxins?
Antibodies
