The document describes the virus growth cycle in 5 steps: 1) Attachment - the virus attaches to a cell receptor using a key-lock mechanism. 2) Entry - the virus enzyme enters the host cell by weakening the cell membrane or through phagocytosis. 3) Replication - the virus DNA/RNA uses the cell's ribosomes to make new virus proteins through transcription and translation. 4) Assembly - the new virus proteins assemble into complete viruses. 5) Release - the virus enzyme causes the cell to burst, releasing the new viruses to find more cells and repeat the cycle.
