Viruses are not cells and are not made of cells: they are small entities that reproduce inside of cells.
Viruses have many different shapes and forms. They tend to resemble spirals, spheres, and various types of three-dimensional polygons.
The internal structure of a virus is a strand of RNA surrounded by a protein shell.

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.
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.
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.
How does a virus take over a cell?
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 does a typical virus cell look like?
A virus is not considered a cell because it lacks cellular structures like a nucleus or organelles. Instead, a virus typically consists of genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. Some viruses may also have an outer lipid envelope.
How do common cold virus reproduces?
Ok, the common cold virus has little things around it that look like keys. The virus enters your respiratory tract, like the nose or mouth and goes to a cell, the little key-things try to open big proteins on a cell tha looks like a lock then, the molecules or organelles in a cell welcome the virus. When the virus enters the nucleus of the cell it goes to a "factory" and it uses our DNA to copy its own DNA, and it keeps reproducing until there are millions of them but luckily we have our immune system, white cells, and they "eat" the virus.
What does a virus not look like?
It does not look like a dick in your mouth!
Where can I get a Drawing of a virus cell?
No where. A virus is not a cell.
What does west nile virus look like?
It looks like a blue small circular virus
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.
What does a cell and virus have in common?
What a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.
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.
How does an active(lytic) virus multiply?
An active virus, like all viruses has to "hijack" a host cell's DNA and then that DNA makes virus parts instead of cell parts. When the cell is full of the virus parts, it ruptures and dies. The viruses find other cells and repeat the cycle.
What HIV look like?
It is not a thing that we can see it. It is a virus Human Immuno-deficiency 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
Which is smaller a cell or virus?
A virus.
