Answer:

Explanation:Many viruses follow several stages to infect host cells. These stages include attachment, penetration, uncoating, biosynthesis, maturation, and release. Bacteriophages have a lytic or lysogenic cycle.

The life cycle of viruses may be divided into the following stages:

1. Attachment

Attachment is a specific binding between viral surface proteins and their receptors on the host cellular surface. This specificity determines the host range of a virus. For instance, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks only human's immune cells (mainly T cells), because its surface protein, gp120, can interact with CD4 and chemokine receptors on the T cell's surface (Figure 1-E-3).

2. Penetration

Following attachment, viruses may enter the host cell through receptor mediated endocytosis or other mechanisms.

3. Uncoating

Uncoating is a process that the viral capsid is degraded by viral enzymes or host enzymes.

4. Replication

Replication involves assembly of viral proteins and genetic materials produced in the host cell.

5. Release

Viruses may escape from the host cell by causing cell rupture (lysis). Enveloped viruses (e.g., HIV) typically "bud" from the host cell. During the budding process, a virus acquires the phospholipid envelope containing the embedded viral glycoproteins.

The term applied when water passes through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration is:
weqwewe [10]
The term applied when water passes through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration is called osmosis. Osmotic pressure is defined as the amount of external pressure that is required to stop the net movement of the solution across the semi permeable membrane. In terms of biology, osmosis has great importance as most of the membranes in our body are semi permeable. Permeability depends on several factors such as charge, solubility, solute size and chemistry. Osmosis is the process that provides the primary means through which water travels in and out of the cells.
