Inside the cell wall lies a plasma membrane that controls
what enters and leaves the cell.

quickly, disrupting the cell's activities. Toxins produced
by the bacterium will then be released into this cell,

Viruses are made up of DNA or RNA, both of which
contain genetic information and are coated with protein.
Once infected, viruses invade the body's host cells and
proliferate using the host cells' components, resulting in

host cell, causing the infected cells to be harmed or
killed. Viruses typically remain dormant for a lengthy
period of time before beginning proliferation. This will

treating viral illnesses because they cannot kill viruses.
However, antiviral medicine may be provided depending
on the infection.
