Why the virus can attach to a cell?

The answer will be extremely unprofessional, however after landing on the cell, it has leg like structures which allow it to propel itself into the cell, where it starts goofing around and steeling it's DNA in order to reproduce.


Why does a virus only attach to only one cell?

A virus attaches to a specific cell because it has proteins on its surface that can only bind to receptors on that specific cell. This binding is necessary for the virus to enter the cell and replicate. This specificity is determined by the structure of the virus and the receptors on the cell surface.


What part of the virus remains outside the bacterium?

The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell. This capsid is left behind. If the capsid has an envelope, that is also left behind. The DNA or RNA enters the cell.


How do the surface proteins of a virus help invade a cell?

The virus tries to match the recognition glycoprotein on the outside of the cell it is trying to invade, for docking purposes, or for entry purposes. Generally the membrane that covers this type of virus was taken from a cell it lysed on exit.

How does an active(lytic) virus multiply?

An active virus, like all viruses has to "hijack" a host cell's DNA and then that DNA makes virus parts instead of cell parts. When the cell is full of the virus parts, it ruptures and dies. The viruses find other cells and repeat the cycle.


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.
