How does a virus attatch to a host cell?
It doesn't exactly attach to it, it kind of invades the other cell. Think of the virus eating the host.
What is most common threat to a host organism posed by an invading virus?
destruction of cells by viral reproduction
What is an example of an latent virus?
an example of a latent virus is a host cell
In what cycle of viral replication does the virus destroy the host cell?
During the cycle of viral shedding, the virus has made copies of itself and the host cell is no longer useful. The host cell then dies, and the new virus cells then must find a new host.
What does neuraminidase do for a virus?
it is the gene that allows the flu virus to escape a host cell
What is the most common threat to a host organism when a viruse invades?
destruction of cells by viral reproduction .

What is caused by the multiplication of a small infectious agent which invades a host cell and then destroys it?
virus
What do you call that a virus invades?
A virus which invades a cell can be said to be virulent. One that causes the host cell to immediately produce virus' particles and lose it's ability to live is said to be a lytic virus. A virus that remains "silent" for awhile is called a lysogenic virus.
Can bacteria get a viris?
yes bacteria can get a virus. A virus is a pathogen that invades the host cell, changing the make up the bacteria.
Microorganism that springs to life only when it invades cells of another life form?
A microorganism that invades others cells is called a virus. Technically a virus is non-living. It uses the nucleus and its functions of its host cell to keep itself "alive".
What is a disease producing agent especially a virus or bacterium called?
A micro-organism, such as a bacterium, a virus or a fungus, that invades a host and causes a disease is called a pathogen.
A microscopic particle that invades a cell and often destoys it?
The answer to this question is a virus!a virus is what causes you to get a flu and other sicknesses. Remember, a virus is NOT A LIVING ORGANISM! There for, it needs a host cell to reproduce and get nutrients.
What is the most common host for the measles virus?
Humans are the only known host of the measles virus.
What advantage does a virus have when invading an organism if it incorporates part of a host cell membrane into its envelope?
Envelopes aid the virus in entering the host's cells. Glycoproteins on the envelope's surface are unique to the virus. They identify and bind to receptor sites on the host's cell membrane.
