- During viral infection, attachment is usually specific to a particular celltype becausea. the virus is attracted to the appropriate host cells by proteinssecreted into the extracellular fluid.b. the virus recognizes and binds to specific molecules in thecytoplasm of the host cell.c. the virus recognizes and binds to specific molecules on the surfaceof the host cell.d. the host cell produces channel proteins that provide passageways forviruses to enter the cytoplasm.e. the virus releases specific proteins that make holes in the membranelarge enough for the virus to enter.arrow_forwardExplain that a virus can’t be treated with an antibiotic and why. Think about selective toxicity and why those targets don’t exist for a viral infection.arrow_forwardImagine that a drug was discovered that is able to bind to and cut off the 5' cap of the coronavirus RNA genome once it enters the host cytoplasm.

- Why are encapsolated bacteria generally more pathogenic than un-capsolated strains. a.
