Viruses are not cells and are not made of cells: they are small entities that reproduce inside of cells.
Viruses have many different shapes and forms. They tend to resemble spirals, spheres, and various types of three-dimensional polygons.
The internal structure of a virus is a strand of RNA surrounded by a protein shell.

Cell in which a virus reproduces?
a virus can reproduce in any cell it is meant for. like, you can't get a skin virus in your stomach. some viruses affect more than one kind of cell
Is flagella a virus?
Flagella is not a virus. It is a tail-like protrusion of a cell body. A sperm cell has a flagella which is integral to itd locomotion.
What provides energy for an virus?
A virus does not have a metabolism. To reproduce, a virus takes control of a living cell, forcing the cell to make copies of the virus. All energy is provided by the cell.
Why is the cell invaded by the virus called a host cell?
A cell invaded by a virus is known as the 'host cell', as it 'hosted' the virus with shelter and food.
What happens when a virus enters a plant cell?
The cell becomes a virus breeding machine the virus takes over the cell and uses it to make more viruses
What does a typical virus cell look like?
A virus is a relatively long molecule, not a cell.
How do common cold virus reproduces?
Ok, the common cold virus has little things around it that look like keys. The virus enters your respiratory tract, like the nose or mouth and goes to a cell, the little key-things try to open big proteins on a cell tha looks like a lock then, the molecules or organelles in a cell welcome the virus. When the virus enters the nucleus of the cell it goes to a "factory" and it uses our DNA to copy its own DNA, and it keeps reproducing until there are millions of them but luckily we have our immune system, white cells, and they "eat" the virus.

How is virus like a cell?
A virus is not similar to a cell, although it requires a host cell to reproduce. The only thing in common that a virus has to a cell is it has DNA.
What does a virus not look like?
It does not look like a dick in your mouth!

Where can I get a Drawing of a virus cell?
No where. A virus is not a cell.
What does west nile virus look like?
It looks like a blue small circular virus
How do cells respond to a bacteria or virus?
If a virus enters a bacteria cell, the virus will try to infiltrate the cell's central code. If the cell catches it in time, it may be stopped (like a disease virus), but many times the bacterial virus will reproduce inside the cell. Hidden virus will become part of the cell's genetic material code upon entering, and will eventually reproduce. Active virus are easier to spot, as they try to start reproducing after "laying eggs" getting inside the cell.
What does a cell and virus have in common?
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.
How does an active(lytic) virus multiply?
An active virus, like all viruses has to "hijack" a host cell's DNA and then that DNA makes virus parts instead of cell parts. When the cell is full of the virus parts, it ruptures and dies. The viruses find other cells and repeat the cycle.
What HIV look like?
It is not a thing that we can see it. It is a virus Human Immuno-deficiency Virus.
