Viruses hijack the cell and use the cell's machinery to produce proteins.
The statement is incorrect because viruses do not inject bacteria with proteins; rather, they inject their genetic material (DNA or RNA) into the host cell. This genetic material then hijacks the host's cellular machinery to produce viral proteins, which are assembled into new viruses. Additionally, viruses specifically target cells of organisms, such as bacteria (bacteriophages), but they do not transfer proteins into them directly.
Plasma cells produce antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, which are proteins that help the immune system recognize and fight off pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.
Reverse transcriptase is used to produce proteins artificially because it can convert RNA into complementary DNA, which can then be used as a template for protein synthesis. This is particularly useful when working with RNA viruses or when studying gene expression in cells that primarily contain RNA instead of DNA.
Toxins can be produced by certain bacteria and viruses to cause illness in humans. Bacteria such as Clostridium botulinum produce botulinum toxin, while viruses like influenza can produce proteins that exacerbate symptoms such as fever and muscle aches. These toxins can disrupt normal bodily functions and lead to symptoms of illness.
Viruses and prions are examples of non-living pathogens. Viruses require host cells to replicate, while prions are misfolded proteins that can cause disease by inducing other proteins to misfold.
Viruses do produce cellular proteins that are necessary for viral synthesis.

Viruses are made up of proteins (capsid) and genetic material. Virus surface protein interact with its host cell receptors for the entry (1st step in infection). Viral particle can infect the host by inserting their genetic material in to the host genome. Host synthetic machinery produce viral proteins.

Yes, viruses use the cell that it has invaded to produce more viruses.
No. Viruses are composed of nucleic acids, proteins, and sometimes lipids.
Viruses have proteins in their capsid which match proteins in the membrane of their preferred host. This produces the ability to "dock" and then enter the host cell.
the surface proteins on viruses
yes, viruses contain proteins and nucleic acid.
Ribosomes functions as factories to produce proteins.
