The host cell does not benefit from having a virus. The virus usually kills it.
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.
The process in which a virus multiplies itself within a host cell is called replication. During replication, the virus uses the host cell's machinery to create copies of its own genetic material and proteins, eventually leading to the production of new virus particles that can infect other cells.
A host cell for a virus is a cell that the virus can infect and hijack to replicate itself. The virus enters the host cell, takes over its machinery to produce more virus particles, and then spreads to infect other cells.
A virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate itself, causing the cell to produce more viruses. This can eventually lead to cell death and the spread of the virus to other cells.
This is the host (organism) and the cell is called the host cell.
A virus will replicate within a host cell.
The cell invaded by the virus is called a host cell because it provides the environment and resources necessary for the virus to replicate and multiply. The virus uses the host cell's machinery to produce more viruses, ultimately leading to the destruction of the host cell.
No
It is called a host cell. The virus attaches to the cell and injects its DNA into the cell. The virus's DNA overruns the "instructions" that the cell has and "tells" the cell to make copies of the virus using the DNA. Then the cell makes so many copies of the virus, that it explodes. The new viruses then go on to attach to other cells.
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the host cell. The virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more virus particles.
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.
Host Cell
This is called a host cell. In the beginning, a virus will attach itself to the host cell and release its genetic material into it. This genetic material interferes with the host cell's enzymes which cause them to form parts in which will create a new virus.
These are called lytic viruses. They infect the host cell, quickly replicate their genetic material, assemble new virus particles, and ultimately burst the cell to release the new viruses.
The virus attaches to the host cell, it takes over the functions of the host cell, and it eventually destroys it. If there was no host cell, the virus would die.
A virally infected host cells' "desire" would be to create copies of the virus (as that is what the virus does to its host cell - turn its own mechanisms against itself). The host cell, once infected, can not do much to stop the spread of the virus internally. The external immune response would be to target that cell with antibodies and then have white blood cells phagocytize that cell to stop the spread of the virus anymore (same with free-floating viruses outside of cells).
