Question 55

What are receptors and what role do they play in viral infection?

Accepted Answer

Receptors are sensors on the cell surface with shapes that fit with the shape of nutrients. When a matching receptor and nutrient lock together, the cell pulls them both inside. Viruses use receptors to trick the cell into letting them in.

Answer

Receptors are enzymes that break down viruses before they enter the cell.

Answer

Receptors are proteins that destroy nutrients outside the cell to prevent viral infection.

Answer

Receptors are cell structures that produce energy to fight off viruses.

Question 56

The viral capsid or receptor proteins look like nutrients the cell needs, tricking the cell into pulling the virus inside.

Answer

They help the virus produce energy for the host cell.

Answer

They destroy the host cell's DNA immediately upon entry.

Answer

They allow the virus to photosynthesize inside the host cell.

Question 57

What happens after a virus gets inside a cell?
