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.

∙ 11y agoso first the virus finds a host. a host is a person. then it goes into your nose and finds a cell. it injects jenetic material into the cell which takes over the cell's funtions and starts making copies of itself. when there is to many virus' in the cell then the cell burts. your welcome! :)

∙ 14y agoIt injects its DNA into the cell and that cells reproduces more viruses

∙ 12y agoA cell is taken over by a virus when the virus sends it's genetic material into the cell. IT take away the control the cell had.

∙ 14y agoA virus gets into a cell through a person's DNA.

∙ 13y agoBy controlling the host cell's protein synthesis for production of viral protein.These viral proteins infect the adjacent cells of host cell.

∙ 11y agoA virus has proteins in its' capsid which match proteins on the cell. These allow "docking" and the virus enters the cell and hijacks the DNA.

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.
What happens when a virus enters a plant cell?
The cell becomes a virus breeding machine the virus takes over the cell and uses it to make more viruses
What is the differences between cell and virus?
A virus is an infectious cell that tries to take over any thing near it and regular cells are building blocks to any living material that doesn't try to do harm to other cells.
Whats the difference about a virus and a cell?
Viruses are like cells except they destroy your immune system and take over your body and kill you.
What happens if a virus gets through a membrane?
The virus attempts to take over the host cell's DNA, and if successful, when the host cells divide via mitosis, instead of making copies of a healthy cell, the system produces new copies of the virus infected cell, which leads to an infection.
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.
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".
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.
What happens when a virus enters a plant cell?
The cell becomes a virus breeding machine the virus takes over the cell and uses it to make more viruses
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 is the differences between cell and virus?
A virus is an infectious cell that tries to take over any thing near it and regular cells are building blocks to any living material that doesn't try to do harm to other cells.
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.
What are the four steps an active virus takes to reproduce itself in a bacterial cell?
First: The virus attaches to the hostSecond: The virus injects it's genetic materialThird: The Virus starts to assemble itselfFourth: The virus takes over the cell and breaks it open, killing the cell
Whats the difference about a virus and a cell?
Viruses are like cells except they destroy your immune system and take over your body and kill you.
When a virus invades a living cell what takes over the cells functions?
The virus's genetic material.
