Why do plant viruses have a difficult time entering the cells they infected?

Plant viruses have a difficult time entering the cells they infect partly because plant cells are surrounded by tough cell walls that viruses alone cannot break through; however, once inside a plant they can multiply and spread rapidly.

What is produced by cells infected with viruses?
More viruses. Cells infected with virus DNA are essentially converted into virus factories. Instead of producing the materials the cell needs to reproduce, it produces dormant viruses, until the cell bursts and the new viruses begin infecting other cells.
What cells are infected by the human immunodeficiency virus considering that most viruses infect a specific kind of cell?
T-cells.
How do you prevent endocytosis?
To prevent endocytosis, you must introduce endocytosis inhibitors in the environment that you don't want it to occur. This can help prevent the spread of viruses or infections by not allowing the cells to eat infected cells.
How a virus inters your body and 'how it reproduces in your body'?
Viruses are like parasites. They always need host to reproduce and everything. First, they enter through any kind of opening in body, like wound, or mouth. Then the viruses send in their DNA's into uninfected cells using a protein fork. Then the cell is infected, and is forced to produce more viruses. When there are no more resources to produce more viruses in the cell, viruses burst out and the cell dies. This repeats until the infected organism dies.
Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
What is infected and destroyed by the HIV viruses?
White blood cells
What are oncolytic viruses?
Oncolytic viruses are viruses used in cancer treatment. They kill these viruses through chemical means in multiple stages by attacking infected cells.

What molecule in your blood binds to viruses to block them from entering one of your cells?
plasma
Why viruses are difficult to classify as living organisms?
It is because viruses are not made up of cells
Why don't anitibiotics work on virus?
Antibiotics do not work on viruses because viruses are not cells which can take in and out or be infected by specific processes.
What cells are infected by the human immunodeficiency virus considering that most viruses infect a specific kind of cell?
T-cells.
how are new viruses produced How might this process cause harm to the infected cell?
All viruses kill they cells that they infect. If not right away then later.
What do the T-cells do?
If im correct, helper t-cells activate: b-cells that mark viruses and make them stick together, killer t-cells --which attack macrophages and infected cells, and memory b-cells, which remember how to stop viruses, this i believe is called active immunity
Why would you want killer t cells to be present if you have a cold?
you would want killer t cells to be present because, they kill cells that are infected by viruses, and bacterium.
What does inclusion mean in health and social care?
Small particles of matter found in cells infected with certain viruses
What cells do helper T-cells activate?
