What structure is most similar to the protein shell in a virus?
A protein shell in a virus is most similar in structure to a capsid, which is a protein shell that encloses the genetic material of a virus. Capsids provide protection to the viral genetic material and help in the process of host cell infection.
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 is a outer supportive structure of a plant cell?
The cell wall is the outer supportive structure of a plant cell. It provides rigidity and support to the cell, helping the plant maintain its shape and structure. The cell wall is made up of cellulose, a complex carbohydrate that gives strength to the cell.
Why is the cell invaded by the virus called a host cell?
The cell invaded by the virus is called a host cell because it provides the environment and resources necessary for the virus to replicate and multiply. The virus uses the host cell's machinery to produce more viruses, ultimately leading to the destruction of the host cell.
What do you call a cell that has been infected with a virus?
It is called a host cell. The virus attaches to the cell and injects its DNA into the cell. The virus's DNA overruns the "instructions" that the cell has and "tells" the cell to make copies of the virus using the DNA. Then the cell makes so many copies of the virus, that it explodes. The new viruses then go on to attach to other cells.
What is the function of the cell wall in the cell wall?
it protects the cell wall from any bacteria virus, and other enffections
Do virus has a cell wall?
noo
What is the function of a cell wall in a cell?
it protects the cell wall from any bacteria virus, and other enffections
What is a particle with dna but no nucleus or cell wall?
A virus is a particle with DNA but no nucleus or cell wall.
Does yellow fever have a cell wall?
The yellow fever virus is released through a cell wall. Generally viruses do not have a cell wall. However, they attach to cell walls.
How does cellulose help with one functions of the cell wall?
The cellulose makes the cell wall harder to protect it from bacterias and other harmful virus.
What does the virus reproduction do to the host bacterium?
a virus uses leg-like appendages to clamp onto a cell and a spike or chemical coating to penetrate the cell wall http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-a-virus-and-a-bacteria.htm
How do cells get diseases?
When a virus breaks through a cell wall/ membrane and infects the cytoplasm.
What is the tail fiber in a virus?
It's a T4 long fiber and it attaches to the cell wall of the host
What are two function's of a virus's protein coat?
The two functions of a virus's protein coat are to protect the genetic material inside and to react with the cell wall of a potential host cell, thus causing the genetic material to be injected into the host cell.
Do virus have a cell wall?
Answer... NO According to the KAPLAN's explanation of AAMC MCAT practice test CBT 4, viruses can have cell walls (question B). Either they are wrong, or the rigid coating of a virus is called a cell wall though the virus itself is not considered a "cell." I will look for another source on this, but the common sense answer may not be correct here... I suppose this is just a grievous error on the AAMC MCAT. Viruses do have a protein coat similar to a cell wall, but obviously it is not called a cell wall.
What method of entry does the virus use in step 2 of the lytic cycle?
The virus attaches to a specific receptor on the host cell membrane, allowing it to enter the cell through receptor-mediated endocytosis or direct fusion with the host cell membrane in the second step of the lytic cycle.
