Once viral proteins enter the cell, the formation of proteins to gain full control of the host cell are activated. Control mechanisms include suppression of intrinsic cell defenses, suppression of cell signaling, and suppression of host cellular transcription and translation. Death and decline of a cell infected by a virus is often a result.

Does chickenpox have a host cell?
Yes, chickenpox is a viral disease and all viruses need host cells to reproduce and cause an organism health problems.
Influenza is unicellular or multicellular?
Influenza is not a cell, it is a respiratory disease caused by a type of viruses, called influenza viruses. Viruses are not cells, they are sub-microscopic organisms that are non-living and disease-causing in humans, animals, and plants as well as in some bacteria.
3 types of bacteria that can cause disease?
There are three main types of micro organism that can cause disease Bacteria, these are prokaryotes and have no true nucleus. Bacterial diseases include tuberculosis, gonorrhea, tetanus etc. Infections can result when bacteria get into the "wrong parts" of the body and are able to reproduce. For example E.coli is normally excreted in the faeces but if ingested through poor hygience (faecal-oral) or through poor food preparation it can cause stomach upset. Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics. Fungi, these are eukaryotic organisms and include all yeasts. Fungi cause infections such as thrush, athletes foot and ringworm. Viruses, these are not alive but can cause damage to host cells. They need a host cell in order to grow and reproduce. Viral diseases include HIV, Influenza, measles, chicken pox, herpes. Antibiotics do not work on viruses as they need body cells to reproduce. When they leave the cell in which they invade they cause damage to the cell resulting in symptoms of the disease,
Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
Viruses that use reverse transcriptase to cause their host cells to transcribe DNA from an RNA template are called?
Retroviruses
Why can penicillin be used as a drug?
Antibiotics like penicillin work by killing the bacteria that cause the disease while they are inside the body. They damage the bacterial cells without damaging the body's cells. They don't work on viruses because viruses invade body cells in order to reproduce.
What are microscope organisms that are parasitic within living cells and cause disease in humans?
viruses
What are microscopic organisms that are parasitic within living cells and cause disease in humans?
pathogens
How does a viruses cause disease?
Put simply it infects your cells with its own form of DNA that cause you body to make more and thenthey infect more cells sorta
What is a feature of viruses but not cells?
they can damage the 52o tissues
What are some things that might damage cells?
viruses
Do cells cause diseases?
Cells can cause disease, but can also prevent disease.
How can viruses makes you ill?
Viruses can make you ill by invading your cells and hijacking their machinery to reproduce. This process can cause damage to the infected cells and trigger your immune system to respond, leading to symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and inflammation. Additionally, some viruses can disrupt normal bodily functions and cause complications that contribute to illness.
Can bacteria causes disease?
Less then 1 percent cause disease. Disease causing bacteria produce toxins- powerful chemicals that damage cells and make you ill.
What are prokaryotic cells that cause disease and decay?
Bacteria are prokaryotic cells that cause disease and decay.
What type of microorganism causes germs or disease?
Bacteria, fungal spores, viruses (not necessarily microorganisms), and protist cells can cause disease.k cocci o
Does chickenpox have a host cell?
Yes, chickenpox is a viral disease and all viruses need host cells to reproduce and cause an organism health problems.
