1.) Virus' tails attach themselves to the host cell

2.) Virus' sheath goes through the cell wall

3.) Nucleic acid injects from the head of the virus into the host cell

4.) Ivrions appear causing the cell to burst carrying many copies of the original virus

The virus' capsid (protein coat) includes proteins that enable it to enter a host cell bye binding to receptors on the surface of the cell and "tricking" the cell into allowing it inside. Once inside the cell transcribes and translates the viral genetice information instead of the cell's genetic information.

Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They cannot make more viruses on their own.

A virus need to "hijack" a living cell and "make" that cell make virus parts. The parts are assembled and when the cell is full, the cell breaks open and the cell dies. The virus finds more cells to "hijack".
