What is a virus called outside a host cell?
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
Does the host cell usually benefit from having a virus?
The host cell does not benefit from having a virus. The virus usually kills it.
What is a host cell for a virus?
A host cell for a virus is a cell that the virus can infect and hijack to replicate itself. The virus enters the host cell, takes over its machinery to produce more virus particles, and then spreads to infect other cells.
Where is a host cell found?
in a virus
What property of a virus determines its attachment to a host cell membrane?
The specific viral proteins on the surface of the virus determine its attachment to host cell membrane receptors. These proteins bind to complementary host cell receptors, allowing the virus to attach and enter the host cell.
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 the cell that a virus infects?
Host Cell
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.
What is a virus called outside a host cell?
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
What stage is it when a virus enters a host cell?
The virus enters the host cell in the penetration phase.
Does the host cell usually benefit from having a virus?
The host cell does not benefit from having a virus. The virus usually kills it.
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 can a virus do without a host cell?
It can do nothing. It needs the host cell to make more virus particles.
What is a host cell for a virus?
A host cell for a virus is a cell that the virus can infect and hijack to replicate itself. The virus enters the host cell, takes over its machinery to produce more virus particles, and then spreads to infect other cells.
How does a virus attatch to a host cell?
A virus attaches to a host cell by recognizing and binding to specific proteins or receptors on the cell surface. This attachment is necessary for the virus to enter the host cell and begin the process of infection.
What is a process that a virus can do in a host?
First the virus enters the host cell, then the virus' hereditary material come, then the host cells hereditary material becomes viral, then the host cell expands, and then it POPS!!!
Where does a virus multiplied?
Viruses can only multiply (reproduce) within a host cell. The type of host cell is dependent on the virus' host range.
