Definition
| Are not composed of cells. |
|
|
Term
| Viruses Consist of 4 Major Components: |
|
Definition
-Protein Capsid
-Genetic Material
-Enzymes
-Receptors |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A coat that protects the Genetic Material. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Deoxyribonucleic Acid(DNA) or Ribonucleic Acid(RNA) which instructs the host cell on how to produce more viruses. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Aid viral entry and taking-over of the host cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Allow the virus to attatch to a SPECIFIC host cell. |
|
|
Term
| Evidence that viruses are living: |
|
Definition
- Contain Genetic Material(DNA/RNA)
- Consist of organic molecules such as enzymes
- Enzymes are used during replication
- Reproduce(although they require a host cell in order to do so) |
|
|
Term
| Evidence that viruses are non-living: |
|
Definition
- Not composed of cells, or have a cell membrane
- Cannot carry out metabolie
- Do not breathe/grow
- Do not respond to environment
- Can be crystalized without causing harm
- Can ONLY reproduce with a host cell |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Viruses have specific receptor to attatch to and infect a certain type of target cell as it's host. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Lytic Cylce
- Lysogenic Cycle |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Virus attatches to host cell
- Viral Enzymes allow entry of Genetic Material into the host cell
- Genetic Material takes over host cell and manufactures copies of the different parts of the virus
- Viruses rupture through cell wall
- Parts of virus attatch to the cell wall and "bud"
- Original host cell is destroyed or damaged |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Very active. Causes disease. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Virus attatches to host cell
- Enzymes allow entry of genetic material into the host cell
-Genetic material become incorperated in the host cell as a "provirus"
- The provirus DOES NOT take over the host
- Provirus is replicated
- Provirus will be replicated untill it becomes virulent |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A virus that causes disease via the Lytic Cycle |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Vaccines
- Avoid contact with bodily fluids |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Contain either weakened whole virus, or parts of the virus. The vaccine prepares the immune system for infection so if an actual infection occurs, the body can destroy it. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Kissing
- Shared eating utensils
- Sexual contact
- Blood transfusion
- Shared syringes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Phagocytic cells engulf and destroy viruses. They are found in the blood and other bodily fluids
- The immune system produces proteins called antibodies that bind to and destroy viruses
-Skin
- Body fluids: Tears, Oil, Sweat
- Gastric Juices |
