Matching. A patient’s liver cells infected with a virus are producing viral proteins instead of normal liver proteins needed for blood clotting, causing bleeding problems. Match each cellular component with what happens during viral infection.
Question 7 options:


Hijacks cellular protein-making machinery


Produce viral proteins instead of normal proteins


Cannot be made, leading to bleeding problems

1.

Virus
2.

Host cell ribosomes
3.

Normal liver proteins

Answer 1

1. Virus — Hijacks cellular protein-making machinery
2. Host cell ribosomes — Produce viral proteins instead of normal proteins
