Explain

<p> This question is discussing how viruses operate post entry into a host body. They are not known to deactivate the host cell's defenses (host cells lose their activity rather due to the constitutional rerouting and impact of the invader), nor do they synthesize antibodies (antibodies are produced by the immune system of living organisms, generally in response to foreign substances). Viruses do not metabolize host proteins for growth as viruses do not grow in the traditional way as other cells since they only replicate by using the cell machinery of the host cell. A virus utilizes the host cell's "resources" and mechanisms in order to replicate itself, causing the host cell to potentially burst or specialize consistently in producing virions. Therefore, the closest accessibility regarding viral activity would be "to access cellular processes for replication".</p>
