🦠Cells are the building blocks of all living things, both large and small.
🔬When a virus enters the body, cells work together to destroy it and protect the body.
🧬The nucleus of a cell contains DNA, which provides instructions for making antibodies.
🧪Ribosomes in cells create proteins, such as antibodies, to fight off viruses.
⚡️Mitochondria provide the energy that cells need to carry out their functions.
How do cells protect the body from viruses?
—Cells have a protective membrane and enzymes that can destroy viruses. They can also create antibodies to kill viruses.
What is the role of the nucleus in cells?
—The nucleus contains DNA, which provides instructions for making proteins, including antibodies.
What are ribosomes and what do they do?
—Ribosomes are organelles in cells that create proteins, including antibodies, to fight off viruses.
What is the function of mitochondria in cells?
—Mitochondria provide the energy that cells need to carry out their functions.
Do plant cells and animal cells work together to fight viruses?
—Plant cells and animal cells have different methods of fighting viruses, but they can both contribute to the overall immune response of the body.
