What else can I help you with?
Need by a visrus in order to reprooduce?
a host cell so that the virus is able to use the host's cell machinery to replicate
What is the name for a package of nucleic acid wrapped in a protein coat that must use a host cell's machinery to reproduce itself?
A virus is a package of nucleic acid wrapped in a protein coat that requires a host cell's machinery to replicate.
What method might a virus use to inject itself?
A virus can inject itself into a host cell by exploiting cell receptor proteins or by fusion with the cell membrane. Once inside, the virus releases its genetic material to hijack the host cell's machinery for replication and produce more viruses.
How does a virus use and obtain and use energy?
Viruses do not have the ability to produce energy on their own as they lack cellular machinery. Instead, they rely on hijacking the host cell's metabolic processes for energy production by utilizing the host cell's resources and machinery to replicate and spread.
What does a virus do to its host cell?
A virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate itself, causing the cell to produce more viruses. This can eventually lead to cell death and the spread of the virus to other cells.
What is a host cell for a virus?
A host cell for a virus is a cell that the virus can infect and hijack to replicate itself. The virus enters the host cell, takes over its machinery to produce more virus particles, and then spreads to infect other cells.
What requires a host cell to reproduce?
yes a virus need host cell to repriduce becouse it lack enzyme system
What does a virus require for replication?
Viruses need a living host for reproduction. They, themselves, are not alive, so they must have a living host to provide the material to use for building duplicates, as well as for the energy to use in the production.
What do viruses do with their DNA?
Viruses use their DNA or RNA to replicate themselves within a host cell. They hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of their genetic material and produce new virus particles, which can then infect other cells. This leads to the spread of the virus within the host and potentially to other individuals.
Does an active virus use energy to grow?
Yes, an active virus requires energy to replicate and grow within a host cell. It hijacks the cell's machinery to produce more viral particles, which requires energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
What does HIV use to reproduce?
HIV is a retrovirus as it transcribed mRNA into DNA. It invades a host cell and uses the cells machinery to copy its own genetic material. This produces multiple copies of the virus within the host cell, which then ruptures releasing the virus and the process is repeated.
Does a virus need food warth and moisture to grow?
No, viruses do not grow in the same way that bacteria or fungi do. They need a host cell to replicate and spread. Once inside a host cell, viruses use the cell's machinery to make copies of themselves.
