Question

multiple - choice a.11 points
which of the following conditions would be most likely to cause a virus to enter its lytic phase?
cell has plenty of glucose
the cell has far more atp than normal
cell is lacking in atp
the cell is getting ready to divide

Explanation:

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
