It can do nothing. It needs the host cell to make more virus particles.
Host Cell
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.
A virus replicates inside a host cell. For example 'Bacteriophase'
Protein synthesis is important for viruses because the virus forces the host cell to make proteins that the cell does not need, but the virus does to repoduce. Protein synthesis is important for cells because the proteins are essential for all cellular activites.
virus can't live outside host cell
The virus enters the host cell in the penetration phase.
The host cell does not benefit from having a virus. The virus usually kills it.
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!!!
Viruses can only multiply (reproduce) within a host cell. The type of host cell is dependent on the virus' host range.
A virus will replicate within a host cell.
This is called a host cell. In the beginning, a virus will attach itself to the host cell and release its genetic material into it. This genetic material interferes with the host cell's enzymes which cause them to form parts in which will create a new virus.
