Labeling Viruses

Name a disease caused by a virus

What are two reasons that viruses are not classified as living?

• They contain DNA

• They only reproduce inside a host

• They are made of cells

• They are not made of cells

• They metabolize nutrients

Identify how viruses are named?

• Latin names

• The disease they cause

• The organ or tissue they infect

• Code numbers

A

• DNA or RNA

• Capsid

• Inner core nucleic acid

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

B

• DNA or RNA

• Capsid

• Inner core nucleic acid

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

C

• DNA or RNA

• Capsid

• Inner core nucleic acid

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

Why is a capsid important?

What is the 1st step in the lytic cycle of virus reproduction?

• Attachment

• Nucleic acid injected

• destruction of host cell, and viral replication

• Assembly of new viral proteins

• Lysis (death) of host cell and release of viruses

What is the 2nd step in the lytic cycle of virus reproduction?

• Attachment

• Nucleic acid injected

• destruction of host cell, and viral replication

• Assembly of new viral proteins

• Lysis (death) of host cell and release of viruses

What is the 3rd step in the lytic cycle of virus reproduction?

• Attachment

• Nucleic acid injected

• destruction of host cell, and viral replication

• Assembly of new viral proteins

• Lysis (death) of host cell and release of viruses
