Question

Proteins on the surface of the coronavirus allow them to enter into our cells during an infection by binding to receptors. Since receptors pass through the plasma membrane, these proteins are called (x ). The virus enters by being engulfed by your cell in a process known as (y).

When inside our cells, coronavirus utilizes our cellular metabolism. While a patient can still breathe normally, the metabolism that coronavirus hijacks would be (x). However, once a patient has trouble breathing, there is no longer sufficient oxygen in their cells. Therefore, cells that can, utilize (y) to continue glycolysis. Our ability to utilize these two metabolic pathways makes our cells (z).

Newly assembled “baby” viruses are composed of membranes made by the host’s (organelle) (x) and glycoproteins made by the enzyme (y) on the host’s (organelle) (z).

Answer 1

Proteins on the surface of the coronavirus allow them to enter into our cells during an infection by binding to receptors. Since receptors pass through the plasma membrane, these proteins are called spike proteins(NSP15). The virus enters by being engulfed by your cell in a process known as Endocytosis.

When inside our cells, coronavirus utilizes our cellular metabolism. While a patient can still breathe normally, the metabolism that coronavirus hijacks would be Cell metabolism. However, once a patient has trouble breathing, there is no longer sufficient oxygen in their cells. Therefore, cells that can, utilize (y) to continue glycolysis. Our ability to utilize these two metabolic pathways makes our cells (z).

Newly assembled “baby” viruses are composed of membranes made by the host’s (organelle) Endo plasmic resticulum and glycoproteins made by the enzyme Endoribonuclease on the host’s lung cells
