multiple - choice a.11 points\nwhich of the following conditions would be most likely to cause a virus to enter its lytic phase?\ncell has plenty of glucose\nthe cell has far more atp than normal\ncell is lacking in atp\nthe cell is getting ready to divide
Answer
Brief Explanations:
In the lytic cycle, a virus hijacks the host - cell machinery to produce new virus particles. When a cell is lacking in ATP, it is under stress. Viruses often enter the lytic phase when the host cell is in a stressed state as it is beneficial for the virus to quickly replicate and spread before the cell dies or becomes non - functional. A cell with plenty of glucose or more ATP than normal is in a healthy state and less likely to trigger the lytic phase. A cell getting ready to divide is also in a normal physiological process and not a trigger for the viral lytic phase.
Answer:
Cell is lacking in ATP
