What else can I help you with?
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.
How does a lytic virus kill a host cell?
A lytic virus kills a host cell by replicating inside the cell, causing it to burst, releasing new virus particles that can infect other cells. This process usually leads to the death of the host cell.
Which is the biggest bacteruim virus or yeast cell?
A yeast cell is the biggest followed by the bacteruim then the virus The virus is easily the smallest it can be up to 1/10000th of the size of a bacterium! A bacteria is about 1.8 millionth of a meter a yeast cell is about a 12 millionth of a meter which means the yeast cell is more than 6x larger than a bacterium!
Where can I get a Drawing of a virus cell?
No where. A virus is not a cell.
Are plant cell usually smaller or larger than animal cell?
plant cell - is bigger than animals cell
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 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.
What is the specific host cell of the West Nile Virus?
The specific host cell for West Nile Virus is the neuronal cell in the central nervous system. Once inside these cells, the virus can replicate and cause damage, leading to neurological symptoms in infected individuals.
Are viruses larger then cells?
No. Viruses are smaller than cells. If a cell were the size of a basketball, then a virus would be about the size of a penny.
Which stage of bacteriophage replication involves the bursting of the host cell so that the virus particles are free to infect others?
This is the last stage and it is called viral shedding. After a virus has made many copies of itself, it usually has used up the cell resources. The host cell is now no longer useful to the virus and the cell often dies.
How are the steps in the infection of an animal cell by a virus different from the infection of a bacterial cell by a virus?
Infection of an animal cell by a virus typically involves the virus attaching to specific receptors on the cell surface, entering the cell through endocytosis or direct fusion, replicating using host cell machinery, and then releasing new viruses by budding or cell lysis. In contrast, infection of a bacterial cell by a virus (called a bacteriophage) usually involves the phage injecting its genetic material into the bacterium, hijacking the bacterial machinery to replicate, and then causing lysis of the bacterial cell to release new phages.
Enveloped viruses are released from the host cell by?
Enveloped viruses are typically released from the host cell by budding, where the virus takes a portion of the host cell membrane as its envelope. This process does not usually cause cell lysis. Instead, the newly formed virus particles are released gradually from the cell.
