What is a core membrane?

A core membrane is a protective layer surrounding the genetic material of a virus. This membrane helps shield the virus's genetic material from external factors and aids in its ability to infect host cells.


Is preventing the specific attachment of the virus of its host cells a possible way to prevent infection?

Yes, preventing the specific attachment of a virus to its host cells can be an effective way to prevent infection. By blocking the receptors on the host cell that the virus recognizes for attachment, the virus is unable to enter the cell and replicate, thus reducing the likelihood of infection. This can be achieved through various means, such as developing drugs or vaccines that target the attachment process.


What does the membrane envelope do on a virus?

This membrane envelope is taken from the last victim of the virus as it exits the cell and contains general identification proteins and docking proteins that the virus can use to gain entry to another cell. The AIDS virus use a docking analogue to dock in the CD4 protein docking area of a T-cell, this facilitates it's entry into the T-cell.


Do virus' have cell membrane?

Virus does not have a 'cell' membrane in the sense of a phospholipid bilayer, and virus is not commonly defined as a cellular organism by convention anyways (therefore the debate about whether a virus is alive). Most virus, however, do possess an outer protein coat that protects its genetic material.</


Why are the cells of mucous membrane are open to virus attacks?

The cells of mucous membranes are open to virus attacks because they are not covered by a skin.

What interlocks with a molecular shape in a host cell's plasma membrane?

Proteins on the surface of a virus interlock with specific receptor proteins on the host cell's plasma membrane. This interaction is crucial for the virus to gain entry into the host cell and initiate its replication cycle.


Which does not refer to the shape of a virus?

A bacillus does not refer to the shape of a virus. The capsid of a virus is what determines the shape of a virus.


What is it called when a virus attached to host cell injects its nucleic acid into the host cell then makes more viruses?

Attachment, or adsorption, occurs between the virus and the host cell membrane. A hole forms in the cell membrane, then the virus particle or its genetic contents are released into the host cell, where viral reproduction may begin.


How does the virus get from the attachment to the computer?

it runs


What is glycoproteins do in virus?

Glycoproteins play a crucial role in virus entry into host cells by facilitating attachment and fusion with the cell membrane. They also help in evading the host immune system by shielding the virus from detection and destruction. Additionally, glycoproteins can determine the host range and tissue tropism of the virus.


What is the first event that occurred when a virus infects the host cell?

The virus attaches to the host cells membrane.


A Virus Has No Outer Membrane Is it a cell?

Virus have no cells


How dangerous can a attachmentbe?

An email attachment could possibly be infected with a virus, malware, trojan, etc. Don't open an attachment from an unknown source. If you must, scan with an anti-virus program before opening the attachment.


Which virus scanner is used to check for virus in any yahoo attachment?

Norton AntiVirus.


Steps of a virus when a attacking a cell?

Attachment: The virus attaches to the surface of the host cell. Entry: The virus enters the cell, either by direct fusion with the host cell membrane or by endocytosis. Replication: The virus releases its genetic material and hijacks the cellular machinery to replicate itself. Assembly and Release: New virus particles are assembled and released from the cell to infect other cells.


How to avoid the dangers of getting a virus from an attachment?

Most virus attachments end in the form .EXE
