They cause the cell to burst. This is called lysis.

Do Most DNA viruses multiply in the host cell's cell membrane?

No, DNA viruses multiply in the host cell's nucleus, while most RNA viruses multiply in the host cell's cytoplasm


Viruses make the host cell produce new viruses which kills th host cell?

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.


What is active viruses?

when a virus enters a cell and is active, it cause the host cell to make new viruses, which destroy the host cell.


How are viruses which typically have a lipid covering called an envelope released from the host cell?

Viruses with an envelope are released from host cells by budding off the cell membrane. During this process, the virus pushes through the host cell's membrane, acquiring an envelope derived from the host cell's membrane. This budding process allows the virus to leave the host cell without causing immediate cell death.


When do viruses reproduce?

viruses can not reproduce without the help of a living cell(host).they remain inert or dead(in-active) when they are in free environment or outside the body(host).when they enter the living cell or in some cases insert their nucleic acid into the host,it takes over the host's biosynthetic machinery and forces it to reproduce essential viral components and after proper assembly the cell burst and viruses leave the cell to infect other cells


What to viruses reproduce?

a host Cell


What type of organism requires a host cell?

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.


What is the mechanism of release for enveloped viruses?

The mechanism for the release of an enveloped virus is called "budding". The virus picks up a part of the host's cell membrane to cover its' own protein coat. This happens when the host cell releases the viruses. The cell doesn't bust open with budding.


What do viruses need to reporduce?

Viruses need a host cell to reproduce. Once they have infected a host cell, they use the cell’s machinery to make copies of themselves. This process eventually leads to the host cell bursting open and releasing new viruses to infect other cells.


What might happen to a cell after viruses leave it?

The host cell lyses, which means the host cell burst and is killed.


Why does viruses act like a parasite and find a host cell?

Viruses need a host cell to replicate and multiply because they lack the cellular machinery for these processes. By hijacking the host cell's machinery, viruses can produce more viral particles and continue their infectious cycle. This allows viruses to thrive and spread within a host organism.


Can a virus live outside a cell?

No
