The virus attaches itself to a living cell, Human or another microbe. It then sends in its genetic codes and forces the cell to reproduce more of that code. Eventually the other cells are full of viruses and pop sending more viruses everywhere to then redo the process. It then causes diseases such as aids or chicken pox
What else can I help you with?
Does a virus need food warth and moisture to grow?
No, viruses do not grow in the same way that bacteria or fungi do. They need a host cell to replicate and spread. Once inside a host cell, viruses use the cell's machinery to make copies of themselves.
Why are viruses intracellular?
Viruses are intracellular because they need to hijack the cellular machinery of a host cell in order to replicate and produce more virus particles. They cannot replicate on their own and rely on host cells to multiply. Once inside a cell, a virus releases its genetic material and uses the host cell's resources to replicate.
Why does a virus need the host cell?
Viruses do not have the capability to reproduce. They are simply a strand of DNA or RNA, inside a protein coat. They infect a host cell and hijack the host cell's reproductive faculty, creating more viruses.
What does a virus need in order to survive?
A virus needs a host cell to survive and replicate. Once inside a host cell, the virus can hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of itself. Without a host cell, viruses cannot survive for long periods outside of a living organism.
What does a virus require for replication?
Viruses need a living host for reproduction. They, themselves, are not alive, so they must have a living host to provide the material to use for building duplicates, as well as for the energy to use in the production.
What do you need to do regularly to make sure your computer is protected by viruses?
Users should run a virus scan often to make sure their computer of free of viruses. New viruses are created on an almost daily basis. For more information on virus protection visit Answers.com.
Can viruses get into cells?
Yes, they need to do this so they can have a host to make duplicates of the virus. The cells act as a host providing the materials and work to create new viruses. See the related questions below about the Lytic cycle for more information on virus reproduction.
How do viruses get rid of waste?
Since viruses are non-living they do not need to get rid of waste as they do not make any. Their host does, however. The host can't control the amount of waste build up as the virus has control of the DNA and it only wants to make more viruses.

Does carbohydrates help virus or hurt virus?
Normaly neither. A virus is an infectious agent that needs a living cell to make more viruses. Otherwise, a virus just floats around. Some viruses do need carbohydrates to be made, but without a cell a carbohyrate is useless. To some extent, though, certain carbohydrates help a virus by powering the cell that builds viruses. Putting it simply, a lone carbohydrate will most likely do nothing to a lone virus.
What do viruses need to carry on?
Viruses need a host cell to be able to multiply. Once they get attached to the cell membrane or cell wall 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. They cannot make more viruses on their own.
Does fusion fall give viruses?
Yes, any online based games can give a virus. Some online based games have more virus protection than others and some will allow you to report if you do have a virus. So you need to make sure you have a virus protection software just you in case get a virus. No, it does not bring any viruses unless your mama does play it. :) Hope i helped
What does Swine Flu H1N1 eat?
The swine flu, like the seasonal flu, is caused by a virus. Viruses don't eat. Viruses are not alive. They each are more like a sub-microscopic sack of chemicals that is able to stick to your individual cells and make you sick. The viruses make your body create copies of them to make more virus particles to stick to more of your cells. All materials needed to make copies, and all the work to make the copies, is provided by the cells of the infected person (or other animal), which have been invaded and hijacked by the virus, so they have no need to get nourishment even if they could.
What provides the energy for a virus?
viruses dot need energy.
Why does a virus need energy?
Viruses do not directly need energy. The virus takes control of the host cell in order to replicate. The host cell's own metabolic machinery is used to synthesize the components of new viruses. The virus itself is passive.
Do viruses have a carbohydrate store?
No. Virus need to rely on hosts to reproduce.
What medicine do you need to treet a virus?
Antivirals are used to treat viruses.
