05.Viruses

What do viruses need to reproduce?

• they need genetic material
• They need a host cell
• They need  bacteria
• They need insulin

Viruses are...

• prokaryotic
• eukaryotic
• non-living
• endospores

What is the main function of the projections on the surface of a virus?

• They aid in respiration
• They help the virus grow
• They help the virus invade its host by attaching to specific sites on the host
• They help the virus digest food molecules

Reasons that viruses are considered to be nonliving is because

• They are not cellular
• They cannot reproduce on their own
• They cannot make proteins
• all of the above

What do viruses have in common with living cells? They both...

• store genetic information
• have chloroplasts
• use glucose for cellular respiration
• have endoplasmic reticulum

What is the first step of the virus reproduction cycle?

• The viruses genetic material (DNA) starts to take over the functions of the cell
• The host cell bursts open, releasing the new viruses
• The virus injects its genetic material into the cell
• A virus attaches to the surface of a host cell

What is one way that a lysogenic infection differs from a lytic infection?

• A lysogenic virus does not act on bacteria as a lytic virus does.
• A lysogenic virus can remain in the host DNA for a longer period without becoming active.
• A lysogenic virus contains RNA instead of DNA.
• A lysogenic virus directs the production of new viruses right away.

What process is this?

• phagocytosis
• lytic cycle
• lysogenic cycle
• formation of antibodies

What is shown here?

• Lysogenic Cycle
• Lytic Cycle
• Binary Fission
• Conjugation

The viral life cycle causes the host cell to burst open is ............ cyle.
