Many enveloped viruses exit their host cell through a process called _________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enveloped viruses exit their host cell through a process called budding. During budding, the virus acquires an envelope from the host cell's membrane as it exits. This process is different from cell lysis, which involves the virus causing the host cell to burst open for its release. Exocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis, and phagocytosis are not typically involved in viral exit from host cells.
