Why does a virus only attach to only one cell?
A virus attaches to a specific cell because it has proteins on its surface that can only bind to receptors on that specific cell. This binding is necessary for the virus to enter the cell and replicate. This specificity is determined by the structure of the virus and the receptors on the cell surface.
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.
What does the protein structure of a virus have to do with the attachment to host cells?
The protein structure of a virus typically includes specific proteins on its outer surface that help it attach to receptors on host cells. This attachment is crucial for the virus to gain entry into the host cell, infect it, and replicate. The binding specificity between viral proteins and host cell receptors is a key determinant of the virus's ability to infect specific cell types.
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.
Which description of a virus is correct?
A virus has no cell structure, but it has genes :)
Is a viruses cell structure unicellular multicellular or both?
Neither; a virus is not a cell.
Why is virus harmful?
virus is a non cellular it require to reproduce the materials of their host cell and they have those material on their structure which is harmful for the host cell.
Why does a virus only attach to only one cell?
A virus attaches to a specific cell because it has proteins on its surface that can only bind to receptors on that specific cell.

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.
Which structure has the least effect on the ability of a virus to infect and replicate in a host cell?
Ribosome
What is the difference between a virus a bacterial cell and a human lung cell?
Their structure is one.A human lung cell is eukaryotic and part of the multicellular structure, the lung.Bacterial cells are prokaryotic and unicellular.Virus is a fragment of protein and nucleic acid that forms a infectious structure.
What does the protein structure of a virus have to do with the attachment to host cells?
The protein structure of a virus typically includes specific proteins on its outer surface that help it attach to receptors on host cells. This attachment is crucial for the virus to gain entry into the host cell, infect it, and replicate. The binding specificity between viral proteins and host cell receptors is a key determinant of the virus's ability to infect specific cell types.
Where can I get a Drawing of a virus cell?
No where. A virus is not a cell.
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.
Which is smaller a cell or virus?
A virus.
