It is actually the other way around. A virus destroys a host cell after it has make the replicants of the virus. The cell will split open (lyse) when full of new virions which then get released to infect other cells.
Our immune systems can "destroy" a virus in a cell, but the cell itself does not do that. The immune system makes antibodies that fit the virus perfectly to block the way it would have attached to the cell to infect it. The antibody attaches to the virus to prevent its ability to attach to a cell.
See the related question below about the lytic cycle for more details about virus "reproduction".
What else can I help you with?
Microscopic particle that invades a cell and destroys it?
A virus is a microscopic particle that invades a cell, takes over its machinery to replicate, and ultimately destroys the cell as part of its life cycle.
A microscopic particle that invades a cell and often destroys it?
Virus
What is a microscopic particle that invades a cell and often destroys it?
virus
A microscopic partical that invades a cell and often destroys it?
a virus
How do you describe an active virus?
The virus attaches to the host cell, it takes over the functions of the host cell, and it eventually destroys it. If there was no host cell, the virus would die.
What is caused by the multiplication of a small infectious agent which invades a host cell and then destroys it?
virus
Microscopic particle that invades a cell and often destroys it?
A virus is a microscopic being that can invade and destroy a cell. Viruses have some, but not all, of the characteristics of living things.
How does a virus attach to a cell and transfer its genetic material into the cell?
A virus attaches to a host cell by recognizing specific receptors on the cell surface. It then injects its genetic material, either DNA or RNA, into the cell. Once inside, the virus hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce more virus particles.
Is HIV a virus that destroys the circulatory system?
No, it is a virus that usually destroys the *immune*system of primates.
How are the lysogenic and lytic cycles different?
causes Disease
An infection in which a virus makes copies of itself and causes the cell to burst is called what?
This process is called lysis, where the virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and then destroys the cell to release new virus particles. This causes the spread of the infection to neighboring cells.
When a virus enters a cell it?
When a virus enters a cell, it injects its genetic material into the cell. The virus then hijacks the cell’s machinery to replicate itself, producing more virus particles. This process can ultimately lead to cell death and the spread of the virus to other cells in the body.
