Viruses first much attach to the host cell, they then must be adsorbed by way of special sites that recognize the virus. After adsorption, penetration occurs and the virus is taken into the cell. It uncoates and begins the process of synthesis of its' own genetic materials and proteins. The next step is maturation or assembly of the virus into its' mature form. The virus fills the cell and begins to leave by "budding". It begins the cycle again by infecting more cells.

When body cells are attacked by viruses they produce what?
INTERFERON is a substance produced by body cells when they are attacked by viruses.
What do viruses do to your body?
Viruses affect the body in many ways. You have to name a specific virus and then somebody can answer it spcifically. Viruses in general can cause a lot of harm for your body and sometimes even kill you!! Next time just remember to state a specific virus and it will be very easy to answer that question. Bye!! Hope this was what you were looking for. From, A 5th grader in Kentucky Fried Chiken!
Do red blood cells destroy viruses in your body?
No. Only white blood cells destroys pathogens, such as viruses.
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.
What is a non living pathogen that invades body cells?
Viruses
Why can penicillin be used as a drug?
Antibiotics like penicillin work by killing the bacteria that cause the disease while they are inside the body. They damage the bacterial cells without damaging the body's cells. They don't work on viruses because viruses invade body cells in order to reproduce.
How do viruses reproduce compared to bacteria?
Viruses replicate inside body cells, using the host cell to do the work and provide the materials for reproduction. Bacteria reproduce outside body cells and, since, unlike viruses, they are living organisms, bacteria are able to do the work and production of new bacteria without a need for a host.A description of the 'Lytic Cycle', the process that some types of viruses follow in reproduction, is given in the related questions below for more detail of the process of reproduction of some viruses inside body cells.
How are copies of viruses produced?
first the virus injects its DNA in the one of the cells then it reprodces in the cell then they are released and they are exposed into the rest of the body and then reproduce in other cells
When body cells are attacked by viruses they produce what?
INTERFERON is a substance produced by body cells when they are attacked by viruses.
What are some limitations of antibiotics?
One thing is that antibiotics cannot kill viruses, as viruses are DNA structures which enter the cells in your body in order to duplicate, however antibiotics cannot enter into the cells, and can therefore not stop the virus.
How are white cells functioned?
White blood cells destroy bacteria and viruses found in your body by releasing enzymes and proteins to break down the foreign cells then consuming it.
What is the process in which cells reproduce body cells?
mitosis
How do viruses damage the body?
This question is strangely placed and/or worded. If you mean biological viruses: viruses harm people in many different ways, depending on the specimen. Generally, they inject DNA into your cells, "hijacking" them for their own selfish needs. Mainly for reproduction. If you mean computer viruses: computer viruses work as most other programs do, but with an interesting twist. They exploit your files in a way similar to the explanation above. Quite fascinating.
Why do viruses kill?
Your host cells in your body.

What is the process by which cells reproduce?
Somatic (Body) Cells-Mitosis Gametes-Meiosis Mitosis is the process by which cells reproduce by dividing into identical daughter cells. In addition to normal body cells, mitosis is also how cancer cells divide.
