The type of cells that viruses live in are host cells. Viruses need host cells in order to reproduce or multiply.
Yes, viruses hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate themselves, eventually causing the cell to burst and release new viruses. This process, known as lysis, results in the death of the host cell.
HIV is a retrovirus that primarily targets and infects CD4+ T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system.
A type of virus that begins to multiply immediately after entering a cell is called a lytic virus. These viruses hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate themselves quickly, leading to the destruction of the host cell as new virions are released. This rapid replication cycle is a characteristic feature of lytic viruses.
New viruses are released after the lytic cycle. ~Gradpoint/Novanet
No, viruses do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis. Viruses are not living organisms and do not have cellular structures like chloroplasts.
Viruses require a host cell to replicate and reproduce. They inject their genetic material into the host cell where it instructs the cell to make new virus particles.

None. Viruses are acellular. Many biologists do not consider viruses to be living things in part because they are acellular. Look at any phylogeny (tree of life). Viruses are not on them.
Yes, viruses use the cell that it has invaded to produce more viruses.
Viruses dont have a cell membrane. Instead, they have a protein sheath.
Yes, viruses hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate themselves, eventually causing the cell to burst and release new viruses. This process, known as lysis, results in the death of the host cell.
Viruses can only multiply (reproduce) within a host cell. The type of host cell is dependent on the virus' host range.
No, DNA viruses multiply in the host cell's nucleus, while most RNA viruses multiply in the host cell's cytoplasm

viruses behave like dead particles out of the cell and in specific out its particular cell. Once inside its cell, the virus uses the cell's machinery to "come alive" it then begins to reproduce and infect other of the same type of cell.
