What is most common threat to a host organism posed by an invading virus?
The most common threat posed by an invading virus to a host organism is the potential for the virus to hijack the host's cellular machinery to replicate itself, leading to the destruction of host cells and tissues. This can result in various symptoms of infection and overactivation of the host's immune response, which can cause further damage to the host organism.
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 virus called that invades bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages are specific to infecting bacterial cells and can inject their genetic material into the host bacterium, leading to replication and eventual destruction of the bacterial cell.
What is the relationship between a virus and a host?
Virus require a host to carry out the most of the characteristics of living organisms. In almost cases, viruses require a host to reproduce (by hijacking the cells of the host and using its DNA to make copies of itself) and also receive the bulk of their energy from the host.
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 most common threat to a host organism when a viruse invades?
destruction of cells by viral reproduction .

What is caused by the multiplication of a small infectious agent which invades a host cell and then destroys it?
virus
What do you call that a virus invades?
A virus which invades a cell can be said to be virulent. One that causes the host cell to immediately produce virus' particles and lose it's ability to live is said to be a lytic virus. A virus that remains "silent" for awhile is called a lysogenic virus.
What is the most common threat to the host organism posed by an invading virus?
destruction of cells by viral reproduction
Can bacteria get a viris?
yes bacteria can get a virus. A virus is a pathogen that invades the host cell, changing the make up the bacteria.

Microorganism that springs to life only when it invades cells of another life form?
A microorganism that invades others cells is called a virus. Technically a virus is non-living. It uses the nucleus and its functions of its host cell to keep itself "alive".
What is a disease producing agent especially a virus or bacterium called?
A micro-organism, such as a bacterium, a virus or a fungus, that invades a host and causes a disease is called a pathogen.
A microscopic particle that invades a cell and often destoys it?
The answer to this question is a virus!a virus is what causes you to get a flu and other sicknesses. Remember, a virus is NOT A LIVING ORGANISM! There for, it needs a host cell to reproduce and get nutrients.
What is the most common host for the measles virus?
Humans are the only known host of the measles virus.
