What else can I help you with?
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.
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 are Viruses that immediately take over a cell's functions called?
A virus the immediately takes over a cell's functions is an active virus. An active virus causes the host cell to make new viruses, destroying the host cell.
Does a lysogenic virus inject their DNA into the host cell?
No, a lysogenic virus integrates its DNA into the host cell's genome instead of injecting it. This integrated viral DNA, called a prophage, replicates along with the host cell's DNA.
What is a virus that replicates without killing the host cell called?
A virus that replicates without killing the host cell is called a "persistent virus." These viruses establish long-term infections within the host, allowing them to continue to replicate and spread without causing cell death.
The cell or organism which a virus depends is called?
This is the host (organism) and the cell is called the host cell.
The cell a virus lives on or in is called?
A virus will replicate within a host cell.
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.

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 it called when a virus attached to host cell injects its nucleic acid into the host cell then makes more viruses?
Attachment, or adsorption, occurs between the virus and the host cell membrane. A hole forms in the cell membrane, then the virus particle or its genetic contents are released into the host cell, where viral reproduction may begin.
What is the cell that a virus infects?
Host Cell
What are Viruses that immediately take over a cell's functions called?
A virus the immediately takes over a cell's functions is an active virus. An active virus causes the host cell to make new viruses, destroying the host cell.
What is the cell in which a virus reproduces?
This is called a host cell. In the beginning, a virus will attach itself to the host cell and release its genetic material into it. This genetic material interferes with the host cell's enzymes which cause them to form parts in which will create a new virus.
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.
Does a lysogenic virus inject their DNA into the host cell?
No, a lysogenic virus integrates its DNA into the host cell's genome instead of injecting it. This integrated viral DNA, called a prophage, replicates along with the host cell's DNA.
What stage is it when a virus enters a host cell?
The virus enters the host cell in the penetration phase.
