Does virus makes the cell it is in produce more viruses?

Yes, viruses use the cell that it has invaded to produce more viruses.


Do viruses produce proteins?

Viruses hijack the cell and use the cell's machinery to produce proteins.


A virus makes the cell it is in produce more viruses?

Of course it makes your cell it is produce more viruses only in a severe virus.


Why viruses are refered to as obligate parasites?

Because viruses can not reproduce or produce protein without a host cell


Can a virus make the cell it is in produce more viruses?

yes it does


How do viruses affect cells and bacteria?

viruses latch onto a host cell and injects its own DNA into it, this DNA controls the cell and makes it produce more viruses inside the cell, when these are ready the burst out of the host cell killing it, and land on another cell


What are the viruses called that attack prokaryotes?

Viruses that attack prokaryotes are called bacteriophages. They specifically infect bacteria by injecting their genetic material into the bacterial cell, which then uses the cell's machinery to replicate and produce more viruses.


What statement is true Viruses have organelles. Viruses can reproduce by themselves. Viruses are not living. Viruses produce their own energy?

The true statement is that viruses are not living. Unlike living organisms, viruses lack cellular structures and cannot reproduce or produce energy on their own; they require a host cell to replicate and carry out their functions. Therefore, they do not possess organelles or the ability to reproduce independently.


Why does viruses act like a parasite and find a host cell?

Viruses need a host cell to replicate and multiply because they lack the cellular machinery for these processes. By hijacking the host cell's machinery, viruses can produce more viral particles and continue their infectious cycle. This allows viruses to thrive and spread within a host organism.


Can viruses replicate?

Viruses are unable to replicate on their own and require a host cell to do so. Once inside a host cell, a virus hijacks the cell's machinery to produce more copies of itself.


Viruses can cause their hosts to become ill or die During which processe does a virus kill its host cell?

A virus kills its host cell primarily during the lytic cycle. In this process, the virus hijacks the host's cellular machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce new viral particles. Eventually, the accumulation of these new viruses leads to the lysis, or bursting, of the host cell, releasing the newly formed viruses to infect other cells.


Do Viruses multiply through binary fission?

No, they do not. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again.No, only living cells divide by binary fission. Viruses are not alive.
