Chapter 5, Problem 18RQ

Many viruses enter host cells through receptor- mediated endocytosis, What is an advantage of this entry strategy?

  1. The virus directly enters the cytoplasm of the cell
  2. The virus is protected from recognition by white blood cells
  3. The virus only enters its target host cell type
  4. The virus can directly inject its genome into the cell’s nucleus.

Which of the following is one way a virus can enter the host cell? Depending on the type of virus, each of the choices is a potential entry mechanisms. A virus can gain entry by fusing its membrane with the host cell's membe to transfer its genome into the host cell. A virus can gain entry by injecting its genome into the host cell. A virus can gain entry by fusing with the host cell's membrane so that the entire virus enters the host cell.
During infection of a cell by Coronavirus, the N protein is:     found on the outer surface of the virus particles     synthesized on bound ribosomes on the rough ER     synthesized in the cytosol on free ribosomes     part of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase     required for binding of the virus particle to cells
each virus bind to a specific cell surface receptor for attachment, so prevention of viral attachment how would you create a drug which will prevent viral attachment.
