What is the relationship that exists between a virus and a human when the virus infects the human?
pathogen/host
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 it called when a virus attached to host cell injects its nucleic acid into the host cell then makes more viruses?
Attachment, or adsorption, occurs between the virus and the host cell membrane. A hole forms in the cell membrane, then the virus particle or its genetic contents are released into the host cell, where viral reproduction may begin.
Does the virion attach to the surface of the host cell in the mumps virus?
Yes, the mumps virus attaches to the surface of the host cell through specific interactions between its hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein and sialic acid receptors on the host cell membrane. This attachment is a crucial first step for the virus to enter the host cell and initiate infection. Once attached, the virus can then fuse with the host cell membrane, allowing it to release its genetic material into the host cell.
What is the cell that a virus infects?
Host Cell
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.
What stage is it when a virus enters a host cell?
The virus enters the host cell in the penetration phase.
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.
Why is the cell invaded by the virus called a host cell?
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.
What can a virus do without a host cell?
It can do nothing. It needs the host cell to make more virus particles.
