Is influenza aerobic?
Influenza is caused by a virus, not a bacteria, so it does not perform respiration like aerobic bacteria. Instead, influenza viruses replicate inside host cells by hijacking the cell's machinery.
What is the influenza's Host?
Birds and mammals.
What is the host of influenza?
Birds and mammals.
Influenza virus binds to its host cells through which carbohydrate moiety?
The influenza virus binds to its host cells through a carbohydrate molecule called sialic acid, which is present on the surface of the host cell receptors. The virus recognizes and binds to this sialic acid molecule to initiate the infection process.
Is influenza photosynthetic?
No. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus. Virus particles are not living organisms, they are sub-microscopic particles that are held in a protein package/envelope and contain DNA or RNA that is used to hijack a host animal's cell that they make do the replication for them using the host's cells' energy and materials. They hijack the cell by inserting their DNA/RNA into the host cell and that converts the cell into a virus-producing "factory". Viruses do not have or need their own energy, so they have no need for photosynthesis or food to produce their own energy.
What is the host of influenza viruses?
Birds and mammals.
What is function of the HA protein of influenza virus?
The HA protein of influenza virus mediates viral attachment and entry into host cells by binding to sialic acid receptors on the surface of the host cell. It is a key protein for viral infectivity and is also the primary target for neutralizing antibodies generated by the host immune system.
What is an example of a disease associated with the lytic cycle?
Influenza (the flu) is an example of a disease associated with the lytic cycle. The virus enters the host cell, replicates rapidly, and eventually destroys the host cell to release newly formed viruses. This cycle contributes to the symptoms of the flu, such as fever, body aches, and respiratory issues.
Which is biggest white blood cell influenza virus or anthrax bacterium?
A white blood cell is the biggest then the anthrax bacterium then the influenza virus.Hope it helps! :)
What is the cell that a virus infects?
Host Cell
Sentence with host cell?
The virus enters the host cell and uses the cell's machinery to replicate itself.
Influenza is unicellular or multicellular?
Influenza is not a cell, it is a respiratory disease caused by a type of viruses, called influenza viruses. Viruses are not cells, they are sub-microscopic organisms that are non-living and disease-causing in humans, animals, and plants as well as in some bacteria.
