Antes de entrar em uma célula, o vírus Ebola precisa passar por algumas etapas essenciais para o processo de infecção:
Ligação aos receptores celulares: O vírus Ebola possui proteínas de superfície, chamadas glicoproteínas, que se ligam a receptores específicos na membrana da célula hospedeira. Um desses receptores é a NPC1 (Niemann-Pick C1), encontrado em células como macrófagos, células dendríticas e células endoteliais.
Internalização: Após a ligação aos receptores, o vírus é englobado pela célula por um processo chamado endocitose, onde ele é "engolido" e levado para dentro da célula em uma vesícula.
Fusão e liberação do material genético: Dentro da célula, o vírus precisa que a vesícula se funda com a membrana viral, liberando seu material genético no citoplasma para começar a se replicar.
Essas etapas são fundamentais para o Ebola infectar e se multiplicar nas células hospedeiras.
PLOX!
Ebola is NOT a eukaryote. Ebola is NOT a prokaryote. Ebola IS a VIRUS. ALL Viruses are NOT considered either prokaryotes or eukaryotes because they lack the characteristics of living things - (except the ability to replicate and to do that they have to hijack another living cell).

Yes. Like all viruses, it goes inside a host cell and replicates itself.
The Ebola capsid is the protein shell that encases the genetic material of the Ebola virus. It consists of a single layer of proteins that form a helical structure, providing protection to the viral RNA and playing a crucial role in viral assembly and infection. The capsid's interactions with host cell machinery are essential for the virus's replication and pathogenicity. Understanding the capsid's structure and function is important for developing treatments and vaccines against Ebola virus disease.
because afteer entering a cell an active virus immeddinately goes into action.
The Ebola virus primarily replicates in various tissues and organs, particularly in the endothelial cells lining blood vessels, hepatocytes (liver cells), and immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells. This replication leads to widespread cell death and disrupts the vascular system, contributing to the hemorrhagic symptoms associated with Ebola virus disease. Additionally, the virus can persist in certain bodily fluids and tissues, prolonging its ability to infect.
No it is a virus, (as it's name suggests).An exoenzyme is an enzyme that is secreted by a cell and that works outside of that cell.A toxin is a poisonous substance produced by living cells or organisms
Substances dissolve in the extracellular fluid or interstitial fluid surrounding the cell before entering the cell. This allows them to be transported across the cell membrane through processes like diffusion or active transport.
True. The envelope of a virus helps it enter the host cell by fusing with the cell membrane. The virus DNA can be found enclosed within this envelope, along with other viral proteins necessary for infection and replication.
Yes. If you press ESC before entering typed data into a cell (e.g. press ENTER), the cell will return to the same condition as before you started typing.
It is not. HIV is a virus. It has a completely different make-up from a bacteria. The most important difference between a bacteria and a virus is that a virus does not have the ability to replicate on its own. It needs a host, another cell, to reproduce, unlike bacteria which can reproduce on their own.
