How are viruses able to infect cells?

Biology
1 answer:
sasho [114]4 years ago
8 0

Answer: Viruses infect cells by entering the cell almost disguising itself as a positive cell or object if you will. Once the virus is inside and the cell absorbs it thinking it is food or something else god knows what, the virus then replicates its DNA into the cell, replacing the RNA and infecting the cell, which then begins to multiply. Good Luck!

IgorLugansk [536]

A fully formed infectious virus particle that is able to establish an infection in a host cell is often called VIRION. It is a fundamental full component of a virus.

<h3>What is a virion?</h3>

A virion can be defined as an entire virus composed of a surface (protein shell) which is called capsid, and the inside nucleic acid.

The core nucleic acid of a virion can be either DNA or RNA (both single and double-strand).

A virion may infect a particular host cell to produce disease.

The table shows the distance between the moon and
Lunna [17]

January 10. 360,048.

Explanation:

The Earth and the Moon are two space bodies that have each other as the closest to one another. Both of them have their own gravitational pull, with the one of the Earth being much greater, while the one of the Moon being weaker than it is expected for a body of its size. Nevertheless they influence each other with the gravitational pull, which is most noticeable on Earth.

The gravitational pull between these two space bodies is the greatest when they are the closest to each other, while it is the smallest when they are the furthest from each other. On January 10 the distance between Earth and the Moon is the smallest and it is 360,048 km, so the gravitational pull is the greatest on this date. On December 19 the distance between Earth and the Moon is the greatest and it is 406,276 km, so the gravitational pull is the smallest.
