What else can I help you with?
Does virus have life?
yes virus have life but only in the host cell
Describe the metabolism of a virus NOT inside a cell?
Virus lack metabolic pathways or any other life activity. This is the reason virus is known as particles and not as life form. they require their host for the replication and dependent of host machinery.
What is the difference between a bacterial lysogenic life cycle and a lyric life cycle?
In a bacterial lysogenic life cycle, the virus integrates its DNA into the host's genome and replicates along with the host cell. In a lytic life cycle, the virus infects the host cell, replicates rapidly, and then bursts the cell to release new viral particles.
What is the only life function that a virus carries out?
A virus carries out the function of replication, by hijacking the host cell's machinery to make copies of itself.
Can a virus have a host?
Viruses do not cause diseases in the host. Why? Well, the host is already causing the virus so it is IMPOSSIBLE for another virus to be cause in the host.
What is the first event that occurred when a virus infects the host cell?
The virus attaches to the host cells membrane.
Why can't viruses reproduce out of they're host organism?
Picture the host as the viruses brain and heart.. Once the virus leaves the host it dies. In other words the host gives it life.
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the?
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the host cell. The virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more virus particles.
What is a process that a virus can do in a host?
First the virus enters the host cell, then the virus' hereditary material come, then the host cells hereditary material becomes viral, then the host cell expands, and then it POPS!!!
Does the host cell usually benefit from having a virus?
The host cell does not benefit from having a virus. The virus usually kills it.
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 a virus called outside a host cell?
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
