What is a virus called outside a host cell?
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
Which component of a virus is lacking in a cell?
Both a living cell and a virus contain nucleic acid. The virus has a capsid, whereas a living cell does not.
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.
How do viruses get into bacterial cell?
A virus has proteins on its capsid that bind to living host cell. Once the virus has attached it enters the cell or inserts DNA/RNA into the cell.
When a virus invades a living cell what takes over the cells functions?
When a virus invades a living cell, it uses the cell's machinery to replicate itself. The virus takes over the cell's functions by hijacking its cellular processes, such as protein synthesis and replication, to produce more viruses. This ultimately leads to the destruction of the host cell.
Can a virus live outside a cell?
No

In a tablar form why virus either be a non-living and living things?
outside a living host cell , a virus is found to be inactive , devoid of its metabolic activities . but inside a living cell it actively carries out all its metabolism . so sometimes it is living and some other times non living
Which component of a virus is lacking in a cell?
Both a living cell and a virus contain nucleic acid. The virus has a capsid, whereas a living cell does not.
What would happen to a virus that never came in contact with a living cell-?
Since a virus can only replicate on a living cell, host cell, it wouldn't be able to reproduce.
Infectious microorganisms that exist as a particle rather than one complete cell and are not capable or reproducing outside of a host cell are?
A virus is a small infectious microorganism that exists as a particle rather than a complete cell that is not capable of reproducing outside of a host cell. A virus only reproduces inside of other living cells in other organisms.
How does a host living cell face with an enemy virus?
A virus and a cell have to have matching "docking" proteins for the virus to invade. Otherwise the virus is blocked.
What cell comes in a fundamental living matter and come in two forms?
DNA is the fundamental living matter. A virus, considered to be a living matter consists of core of DNA. When this virus invades a Bacterial cell, it forms the Bacteriophase.DNA is the fundamental living matter. A virus, considered to be a living matter consists of core of DNA. When this virus invades a Bacterial cell, it forms the Bacteriophase.
What do a virus and a living cell have in common?
Both a virus and a living cell contain genetic material (either DNA or RNA) that carries instructions for replication and functioning. They both use this genetic material to produce proteins and carry out essential biological processes.
Is the Ebola virus a toxin or exoenzyme?
No it is a virus, (as it's name suggests).An exoenzyme is an enzyme that is secreted by a cell and that works outside of that cell.A toxin is a poisonous substance produced by living cells or organisms
Why do scientist have difficulty including viruses in the catogory of living thing organisims?
Because a virus is not a living cell. It consists of an outer coat of protein surrounding a core of DNA or RNA. A virus can reproduce while it is inside a living host cell, but outside the host organism, it shows no sign of life. As such, viruses are not included in any of the six kingdoms of living things.
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.
