Noneveloped viruses enter their animal host cell via an active process that requires the participation of the animal cell.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonenveloped viruses do not have an outer membrane, so they require active participation from the host cell to enter. This is typically achieved through receptor-mediated endocytosis or membrane fusion. In contrast, enveloped viruses have a lipid membrane that can interact directly with the host cell membrane, allowing them to enter the cell without as much active participation from the host cell.
