SARS-CoV-2 virions are made by the host cell machinery. What is an important part of this process? A. The viral genome complexed with N protein docks with the cytoplasmic side of vesicles carrying viral envelope proteins. B. The viral genome translocates across the viral envelope membrane and then binds N protein. C. Vesicles carrying the viral genome complexed with N protein fuse with those carrying Spike protein, which are derived from the Golgi. D. Virions carrying the viral genome bud directly off the plasma membrane, assisted by clathrin coats.

Following binding of spike proteins to ACE2, SARS-CoV-2 likely gains entry into the cell either via fusion of its envelope with the cell membrane or via endocytosis. If the virus must escape the endosome before fusion with the cellular membrane, the virus enters the cytoplasm. Once inside, the virus unpackages and its positive-stranded RNA genome is released. What is endocytosis? What is a lysosome and what is its importance in the cell? What type of macromolecule is RNA?

For many viruses to penetrate the cell membrane and complete their replication inside the cell, the virus must attach to their host cells. Describe how a virus attaches to a host cell. a. A virus uses its cellular structure to attach to a host cell. b. A virus uses a plasma membrane to connect to a host cell. c. A virus uses matrix proteins to attach to a host cell. d. Viruses use viral receptors to attach to a host cell.
