What is the cell in which a virus reproduces?

This is called a host cell. In the beginning, a virus will attach itself to the host cell and release its genetic material into it. This genetic material interferes with the host cell's enzymes which cause them to form parts in which will create a new virus.


What is an organism that supports a virus or other organism?

The answer to this question is a host! A host could be a host cell which a virus uses to reproduce and create more viruses to get you sick!


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.


Where does a virus multiplied?

Viruses can only multiply (reproduce) within a host cell. The type of host cell is dependent on the virus' host range.


What are Viruses that immediately take over a cell's functions called?

A virus the immediately takes over a cell's functions is an active virus. An active virus causes the host cell to make new viruses, destroying the host cell.


What does a virus do to its host cell?

A virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate itself, causing the cell to produce more viruses. This can eventually lead to cell death and the spread of the virus to other cells.


What is a host cell for a virus?

A host cell for a virus is a cell that the virus can infect and hijack to replicate itself. The virus enters the host cell, takes over its machinery to produce more virus particles, and then spreads to infect other cells.


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.


When viruses obtain energy where does it come from?

When a virus obtains energy, it comes from the host cell. A virus requires the host cell to reproduce and uses the energy from that host.


Cell in which a virus multiplies it self?

A virus multiplies itself in a host cell by using the cell's machinery to replicate its own genetic material and produce new viral particles. The virus takes over the host cell's resources to create copies of itself, eventually causing the host cell to burst and release the newly formed viruses to infect other cells.


What does a virus do to a cell?

Well, first the virus "burrows" into it's host (The cell) then it regenerates and more viruses are born. Later, the host cell bursts open and more viruses invade other cells. ~Nick


How do virus propagate?

Viruses replicate by hijacking a host's cells. The virus inserts its own RNA sequence into the host cell's nucleus, forcing it to replicate the virus until the host cell dies.
