they arent the same a virus is technically not condidered living because it does not have all the proper organells but it can count as a protist or a parasite which needs to attach itself to a host to live and reproduce that is another reason viruses are not like cellls because they cannot reproduce on their own they need a host and once they infect the host they reproduce the same virus and so on
but anyway a cell is like a virus for a number of reasons just Google it retard
have a nice day
No where. A virus is not a cell.
Spikes are proteins that are part of the viral capsid/envelope (depending on if the virus is a naked virus or not). It helps with attachment to the host cell. They are derived from their host cell's own proteins (but are not the same as their hosts), and can help in evading the host cell's defenses.
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 a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.
Once inside a living cell, a virus hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate itself, producing more viruses. It does this by taking control of the cell's protein synthesis and genetic material, ultimately leading to the destruction of the host cell when the new viruses are released.
A virus is like a Tupperware container. It is abiotic (never living), and just acts as a container storing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) for that specific virus. First, the virus attaches itself to a living cell. Next, it injects its own DNA into the cell. The virus's DNA instructs the cell to put ALL of its resources into copying the DNA and making more of the same virus. Last, the cell ruptures and the new viruses are set free to repeat the process.
A virally infected host cells' "desire" would be to create copies of the virus (as that is what the virus does to its host cell - turn its own mechanisms against itself). The host cell, once infected, can not do much to stop the spread of the virus internally. The external immune response would be to target that cell with antibodies and then have white blood cells phagocytize that cell to stop the spread of the virus anymore (same with free-floating viruses outside of cells).
A virus.
Both a living cell and a virus contain nucleic acid. The virus has a capsid, whereas a living cell does not.
The cell invaded by the virus is called a host cell because it provides the environment and resources necessary for the virus to replicate and multiply. The virus uses the host cell's machinery to produce more viruses, ultimately leading to the destruction of the host cell.
It is called a host cell. The virus attaches to the cell and injects its DNA into the cell. The virus's DNA overruns the "instructions" that the cell has and "tells" the cell to make copies of the virus using the DNA. Then the cell makes so many copies of the virus, that it explodes. The new viruses then go on to attach to other cells.
A virus will replicate within a host cell.
