The virus tries to match the recognition glycoprotein on the outside of the cell it is trying to invade, for docking purposes, or for entry purposes. Generally the membrane that covers this type of virus was taken from a cell it lysed on exit.

How does a host living cell face with an enemy virus?
A virus and a cell have to have matching "docking" proteins for the virus to invade. Otherwise the virus is blocked.
What must HIV surface protein do to enter a host cell?
The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell.

Why can a virus enter some types of human cells and not others?
Some viruses are very specific to certain cells. The cell has proteins on it's surface and a virus will use it a docking station to be able to enter the cell. Some cells don't have that protein and the virus can not enter the cell.
If virus will infect other virus?
nope, that really isn't possible as virus are acellular organisms and in order to reproduce themselves, they need a host cell. some of those virus contain genetic information, proteins inside them and no way to duplicate it. so what they do is invade a cell that can reproduce itself, and sneak the virus genetic information into the cell's DNA. once the DNA is replicated, the virus uses its proteins to cut the portions of its material genetic and it's done. the virus is replicated
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.

Which cell is bigger virus eukaryotic cell prokaryotic cell proteins lipids?
I will arrange these items in order; largest to smallest. eukaryotic cell----prokaryotic cell---virus Proteins---lipids ( I would not swear by this second answer )
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.
