VIRUSES

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does a virus do once it’s inside one of your cells?
A
It stays inside the cell for a while, and then leaves
B
It eats up all of the machinery in the cell
C
It uses the cell’s machinery to make copies of itself
D
It prevents the mitochondria from converting glucoseto ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The virus’s genome is uncoated from the protein and injected into the host cell. Then the viral genome hijacks the host cell’s machinery, forcing it to replicate the viral genome and produce viral proteins to make new capsids. Next, the viral particles are assembled into new viruses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses cannot replicate on their own, but rather depend on their host cell’s protein synthesis pathways to reproduce. This typically occurs by the virus inserting its genetic material in host cells, co-opting the proteins to create viral replicates, until the cell bursts from the high volume of new viral particles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inside, it releases and replicates its genome while facilitating the manufacture of its proteins by host ribosomes. Virus particles are assembled from these newly synthesized biological molecules and become infectious virions. Finally, the virions are released from the cell to continue the process of infection.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the lytic cycle, the virus attaches to the host cell and injects its DNA. Using the host’s cellular metabolism, the viral DNA begins to replicate and form proteins. Then fully formed viruses assemble.
