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.
Why is protein synthesis important for cells and viruses?
Protein synthesis is important for viruses because the virus forces the host cell to make proteins that the cell does not need, but the virus does to repoduce. Protein synthesis is important for cells because the proteins are essential for all cellular activites.
What substances do T cells produce to destroy cells infected by a virus?
T cells recognize these proteins and produce certain substances (cytokines) that destroy the infected cells.
Do virus have ribosomes?
Viruses do not have ribosomes as a general rule, however there is one confirmed species that does.
What do plants use to produce proteins?
yes plant have protein for livingPlants, animals, bacteria, virus, and all known life forms do have proteins. They are coded in their genetic material (DNA or RNA). Proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm of the cell.
What is the smallest ribosome mitochondrion virus bacterium or protein?
Ribosomes are the smallest between mitochondria, viruses, bacterium, and protein. Ribosomes are the building blocks of mitochondria, viruses, bacterium, and proteins.
Is protein synthesis affected when a toxin destroys ribosomes?
Yes, very much so. Ribosomes in prokaryotes use a slightly different process to produce proteins than do ribosomes in eukaryotes. Fortunately, this difference presents a window of molecular attack by antibiotic drugs such as streptomycin.Unfortunately, some bacterial toxins and the polio virus also use it to enable them to attack thetranslation mechanism in our cells.
Can a virus can only reproduce by controlling a cell?
Yes, that's the ony way
Can virus have ribosomes?
Virus do not have. They do not have any organells

What does interferons do?
When a cell is infected with virus it sends out an interferon to warn other cells around it to stop transcription and translation and to produce antiviral proteins

What parts of a virus allow it to attach to a cell?
The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell.
