Why is a host cell unable to make its own proteins if the invading virus replicates?
When a virus infects a host cell, it hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate its own genetic material and proteins instead of the host cell's. This often leads to disruption of the host cell's normal protein synthesis processes, which can prevent the cell from making its own proteins.
How virus act?
Viruses act by invading host cells and hijacking the cell's machinery to replicate themselves. Once a virus attaches to a host cell, it injects its genetic material, which can be either DNA or RNA. This genetic material then directs the host cell to produce viral components, leading to new virus particles being assembled and released, often killing the host cell in the process. This cycle of infection and replication can spread the virus to other cells and hosts.
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 advantage does a virus have when invading an organism if it incorporates part of a host cell membrane into its envelope?
By incorporating part of a host cell membrane into its envelope, a virus can disguise itself and evade detection by the host's immune system. This camouflage allows the virus to enter host cells more easily without triggering an immune response, increasing its chances of successful infection.
What is the cell that a virus infects?
Host Cell
What three steps occur after a virus attaches and enters a host cell?
When a virus enters a cell and is active, it causes the host cell to make new viruses, this process destroys active virus functions inside a cell.....it like 'tricks' the host cell that it's one of the cells
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.
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.
What stage is it when a virus enters a host cell?
The virus enters the host cell in the penetration phase.
Do virus replicate?
Yes, viruses replicate by invading host cells and using their cellular machinery to produce copies of themselves. This replication process can lead to the spread of the virus to other cells or individuals.
Does the host cell usually benefit from having a virus?
The host cell does not benefit from having a virus. The virus usually kills it.
Why is the cell invaded by the virus called a host cell?
The cell invaded by the virus is called a host cell because it provides the environment and resources necessary for the virus to replicate and multiply. The virus uses the host cell's machinery to produce more viruses, ultimately leading to the destruction of the host cell.
