Viruses that enter a cell do not die. A virus cannot reproduce on its own so it needs to find a cell in which to live. After the virus is done reproducing, most host cells die.

Why would viruses not grow on milk?

Viruses require living cells to replicate and grow. Milk does not contain living cells, so viruses cannot infect or reproduce in milk. Additionally, milk has natural defense mechanisms, such as enzymes and antibodies, that can inhibit the growth of viruses.


Where would viruses most likely grow?

Viruses can only live in living organisms (viruses themselves are not actually living). They might infect cells in our body, such as throat cells (infection of throat cells causes sore throat).

Why is cell division so important?

How do viruses grow and develop over time?

Viruses grow and develop by infecting host cells and using their machinery to replicate. They can mutate and evolve over time, leading to new strains and variations.

What kind kind of substance would you use to grow a viruses in a laboratory?

Viruses are typically grown in living cells, such as bacteria or animal cells, as they need a host to replicate. Specialized growth media, such as culture medium or cell culture media, are used to provide the necessary nutrients for the cells and viruses to grow. These growth media are usually supplemented with amino acids, sugars, salts, and vitamins to support viral replication.


How can viruses grow and develop within a host organism?

Viruses grow and develop within a host organism by attaching to host cells, injecting their genetic material, and hijacking the host cell's machinery to replicate themselves. This process can lead to the destruction of the host cell and the spread of the virus to other cells in the organism.


How do vaccinations stimulate the immune system?

when having a vaccination, they inject Dead Viruses into your body. Your White blood cells will then detect an unknown substance that is not meant to be in your body. (The viruses are dead so you will not get ill unless you have a very week immune system) Your white blood cells will then engulf the dead virus and kill it. (Shorter Vers.) Vaccinations are dead viruses which helps your white blood cell produce toxins to kill it therefore your white blood cell will be prepared for the next time you get the same virus.


Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?

viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
