Q: What are motor proteins? A: Existing just beneath the cell's surface, motor proteins carry to the nucleus nutrients that have been processed by endosomes. Q: What do ribosomes do? A: Normally, ribosomes convert our DNA blueprints into ________________ that are important to the cell. But when fed with viral instructions, they can start building the raw materials for a virus "_____________." Q: What happens to a cell when its DNA becomes paralyzed by a virus? A: The cell falls into ___________________; its only activity is that of the ________________. Q: What keeps a virus from spreading? A: White blood cells usually ____________________ the virus, even engulfing nearby cells that may be vulnerable to infection. (Some surrounding cells even destroy themselves to stop the virus from spreading.)
