They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dog's coat. They are hijackers. Once they get attached, by attaching to matching docking proteins of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again.
What else can I help you with?
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.
When a virus takes over the machinery of a cell?
When a virus takes over a cell's machinery, it hijacks the cell's resources to replicate itself. The virus uses the cell's machinery to produce more copies of the virus, eventually leading to cell damage or death. This process can contribute to the spread of the virus throughout the body.
Cell in which a virus reproduces?
A virus reproduces inside a host cell. It takes over the host cell's machinery to replicate its own genetic material and produce new virus particles. This can cause harm to the host cell and lead to the spread of the virus to other cells.
A virus needs a _____________ to reproduce?
There is no other living thing that requires a virus in order to reproduce.
Microscopic particle that invades a cell and destroys it?
A virus is a microscopic particle that invades a cell, takes over its machinery to replicate, and ultimately destroys the cell as part of its life cycle.
What virus enters the cell but does not take over right away?
A latent cell. You can remember this because the word "latent" has the word "late" in it, and a latent cell does not take over right away, therefor it is "late".
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.
When a virus takes over the machinery of a cell?
When a virus takes over a cell's machinery, it hijacks the cell's resources to replicate itself. The virus uses the cell's machinery to produce more copies of the virus, eventually leading to cell damage or death. This process can contribute to the spread of the virus throughout the body.
How a virus tricks a cell to enter?
They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dog's coat. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts.
How do you describe an active virus?
The virus attaches to the host cell, it takes over the functions of the host cell, and it eventually destroys it. If there was no host cell, the virus would die.
Where does the polio virus get its nutrients?
Viri do not need nutrients. They take over cells and use the cell's metabolism to reproduce.
When a virus takes over the machinery of a cell what does it force the cell to manufacture?
When a virus takes over a cell, it incorporates it's genetic code into the DNA of the host cell. The host cell reads the viruses genetic code, which will instruct the cell to divide and thus make even more copies of the virus.
What does a virus require for replication?
Viruses need a living host for reproduction. They, themselves, are not alive, so they must have a living host to provide the material to use for building duplicates, as well as for the energy to use in the production.
How does a virus infect your body?
A virus infects your body by attaching to a host cell and injecting its genetic material into the cell. The virus then takes over the cell's machinery to replicate itself, eventually causing damage to the host cell. This can lead to various symptoms of the infection.
When a virus invades a living cell what takes over the cells functions?
When a virus invades a living cell, it uses the cell's machinery to replicate itself. The virus takes over the cell's functions by hijacking its cellular processes, such as protein synthesis and replication, to produce more viruses. This ultimately leads to the destruction of the host cell.
How HIV spread into human body?
The virus takes over the cell and it uses the cell to make more and more virus then it spreads out.
How does a virus multiply itself?
1.) Virus' tails attach themselves to the host cell 2.) Virus' sheath goes through the cell wall 3.) Nucleic acid injects from the head of the virus into the host cell 4.) Ivrions appear causing the cell to burst carrying many copies of the original virus The virus' capsid (protein coat) includes proteins that enable it to enter a host cell bye binding to receptors on the surface of the cell and "tricking" the cell into allowing it inside. Once inside the cell transcribes and translates the viral genetice information instead of the cell's genetic information.
