Viruses lack the cellular machinery to synthesize macromolecules independently; instead, they hijack the host cell's biosynthetic processes. Once a virus infects a host cell, it releases its genetic material, which directs the host's ribosomes and enzymes to produce viral proteins and replicate viral RNA or DNA. These components then assemble into new viral particles, effectively utilizing the host's resources to generate the necessary macromolecules for the virus's life cycle.

What general type of reaction is used to build macromolecules?

Condensation reactions, also known as dehydration synthesis, are used to build macromolecules by linking smaller subunits together while releasing a molecule of water. This reaction involves the removal of a hydroxyl group from one molecule and a hydrogen from another molecule to form a bond between them.
