How are viruses harmful to living cells?
Viruses can reproduce very quickly. When reproducing they enter a living cell and they inject their genetic material.
What is the part of the cell that viruses invade?
Viruses have receptors that recognize a specific protein in the surface of the host cells that affects.For Example, HIV virus it recognect only that kind of cells that have in their surface CD4+ at their surface(T cells).Viruses infect specific cell and this is called tropism.
What are six objects that are measured in micrometers?
Bacteria Red blood cells Yeast cells Most plant and animal cells Protozoa Some viruses
Do viruses grow on dead cells?
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.
How does insulin enter animal cells?
Cholesterol enters animal cells when the animal consumes and processes something that contains cholesterol. The cholesterol then enters through the cells permeable surface.
Why would a drug that damages capsids help treat?
capsids prevent viral infections apex they stop viral infections from reproducing
What do viruses do when they enter the body's cells?
create resistant spores
Do animal cells have a protein coat?
No, animal cells do not have a protein coat. Only viruses have a protein coat.
What organisms are found in plant and animal cells?
Mostly bacteria and viruses.
What do animal and plant cells have that bacteria cells don't?
One thing bacteria has that animal and plant cells do not is restriction enzymes for fighting off the attack of viruses.
Why can a virus enter some types of human cells and not others?
Some viruses are very specific to certain cells. The cell has proteins on it's surface and a virus will use it a docking station to be able to enter the cell. Some cells don't have that protein and the virus can not enter the cell.

What are some limitations of antibiotics?
One thing is that antibiotics cannot kill viruses, as viruses are DNA structures which enter the cells in your body in order to duplicate, however antibiotics cannot enter into the cells, and can therefore not stop the virus.
Why would a drug that capsids help treat a viral infection?
Capsids help viruses enter cells, which is where the virus would reproduce. If viruses have a harder time getting into cells, they have a harder time reproducing.
