Respuesta :

Answer:

D. enter the cell.

Explanation:

The cell surface receptors present at the surface of host cells are used by viruses to enter the cell. During their attachment to the host cell, viruses recognize and bind to the cell surface receptors of the host cells. This is followed by the entry of nucleocapsid or nucleic acid of the virus into the host cell.

In this way, viruses use the cell surface receptors of the host cells during their adsorption to the host cells.
