What is it called when a host cell bursts?
The bursting of a host cell is called cell lysis.
Why is a virus not concidered to be alive till it enters a living plant or animal?
viruses cannot be considered alive until it enters the host cell because it cannot metabolises its organic nutrient but the ATP made by the host cell.
How do viruses get into bacterial cell?
A virus has proteins on its capsid that bind to living host cell. Once the virus has attached it enters the cell or inserts DNA/RNA into the cell.
What is a virus called outside a host cell?
virus can't live outside host cell
What is the term used when a host cell is actively making viral particles?
The process is called the Lytic cycle. See related questions below.
What stage is it when a virus enters a host cell?
The virus enters the host cell in the penetration phase.
What is a process that a virus can do in a host?
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!!!
What is active disease?
An "active virus" is when a virus enters a cell and is active, it causes the host cell to make new viruses. This process destroys the host cell. The steps are first, the virus attach's to a host cell. Second, the virus's hereditary material enters the host cell. Third, the virus's hereditary material causes the cell to make viral hereditary material and proteins. Fourth, new viruses from inside the host cell. Fifth, new viruses are released as the host cell bursts open and is destroyed. There are five steps on how a active virus functions inside a cell.
What is active viruses?
when a virus enters a cell and is active, it cause the host cell to make new viruses, which destroy the host cell.
Which is the Process that occurs during viral replication when the viral envelope fuses with the host's plasma membrane and the rest of the virus enters the cell?
penetration
Describe what happens to the host cell of a lysogenic virus?
In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA or RNA enters the cell and integrates into the host DNA as a new set of genes called prophage. That is, the viral DNA becomes part of the cell's genetic material. It does not destroy the host cell.
What are the infective forms of chlamydia that enter the host cell?
The elementary body is the infective form of chlamydia that enters the host cell.
What is the portion of the virus that actually enters the host cell?
its genetic material
Do viral genes redirect the genetic and metabolic activities of a host cell?
Yes viral genes redirect the genetic and metabolic activities of a host cell. This happens when a virus enters a host cell.
The cell or organism which a virus depends is called?
This is the host (organism) and the cell is called the host cell.
How do virues reproduce?
A virus needs a host cell to reproduce, so it enters a host cell(living cell e.g bacteria) and releases genatic materials which enslave the the cell and reproduce.
What is it called when a host cell bursts?
The bursting of a host cell is called cell lysis.
