Question

Viropexis means

Answer 1

VIROPEXIS :

• It is the process in which virus enters the host cell , by attaching to its cell wall and gets incorporated into it and then replicates

Process :

▪︎Virus attcahes to the virus receptor on the cell membrane of the host cell ----------> inversion or invagination of the cell membrane occurs along with the virus ------> virus enters the cytoplasm, which is still bounded by the cell membrane(virus present within the intracellular endosomal vacuole)---------> release of nucleic acid of virus particle from the vacuole into the cytoplasm takes place by internal fusion mediated by viral haemagglutinin protein ------> replication
