First, the virus hijacks the cell and makes it become a virus-making factory. As new virus particles are created in the cell, eventually they fill the cell to the point of bursting open. When this happens, the particles are released where they can then each attach to and hijack a new cell, and the process repeats until your immune system creates the needed antibodies to stop the new viruses from being able to attach to and infect new cells.

How does the structure of a virus help it survive?

The structure of a virus, with its protein coat and genetic material, allows it to enter host cells, replicate its genetic material, and produce new virus particles. This structure also helps protect the virus from the host's immune system and other environmental factors. Additionally, the compact size and shape of viruses enable them to efficiently infect host cells and spread from one organism to another.
