Question

During viral infection, attachment is usually specific to a particular cell
type because

secreted into the extracellular fluid.
b. the virus recognizes and binds to specific molecules in the
cytoplasm of the host cell.
c. the virus recognizes and binds to specific molecules on the surface
of the host cell.
d. the host cell produces channel proteins that provide passageways for
viruses to enter the cytoplasm.
e. the virus releases specific proteins that make holes in the membrane
large enough for the virus to enter.
