lytic
mitosis
lysogenic
S phase
Imagine you're a tiny explorer, journeying through a virus! What would you call the protein capsule that serves as a home for the virus's genetic material (DNA/RNA)?
Is it the tail?
Could it be the nucleus?
Or is it the capsid?
Maybe it's the glycoprotein?

Neither
Imagine you're a tiny virus, what's the first step you'd take to start your reproduction cycle?
You start taking over the functions of the cell with your genetic material (DNA)
You burst the host cell open, releasing your new virus buddies
You inject your genetic material into the cell
You attach to the surface of a host cell
Imagine you're a secret agent and you need to become immune to a certain disease without actually catching it first. What method would you use?
Using antibiotics

Getting Vaccinations
Undergoing Exposure Therapies
Pop Quiz! Can you tell me which of these can be successfully tackled with antibiotics?
Virus
Bacteria
Mutagen
Parasite
Let's play a fun game of 'Spot the Similarity'! Can you tell what viruses and living cells both do?
They both store genetic information - like a secret code!
They both have chloroplasts - like little green factories!
They both use glucose for cellular respiration - like a sweet tooth!
They both have endoplasmic reticulum - like a network of highways!

Here's a statement: The flu is caused by a virus. What do you think?
true
false
Imagine you're a tiny virus, what would you need to throw a party (reproduce)?
You'd need some genetic material to get the party started
You'd need a host cell to host the party
You'd need some bacteria to invite as guests
You'd need insulin to serve as snacks
Pop quiz time! Are viruses considered cells?
Absolutely!
No way!
Can you guess which part of the virus is taking the top spot at number 1?
Capsid
DNA
Surface Markers
Envelope
Can you guess which part of the virus is labeled as number 3 in this exciting viral structure puzzle?
Capsid
DNA
Surface Markers
Envelope
Can you guess what we call the organs and tissues that team up to perform the same function? It's a fun term!
cells
tissues
organ system
organs
Imagine you're a tiny explorer traveling through the human body. You come across a group of tissues working together like a well-oiled machine. What would you call this? (Hint: Think about the heart, lungs or stomach)
cells
tissues
organs
organ system
Hey there, smarty pants! Can you tell me what we call a group of cells that work together like a team, doing similar jobs? Here's a hint: Think about nervous, epithelial, muscle and connective groups.
cells
tissues
organs
atoms
Pop quiz time! Can you tell me what the basic building block of life is?
An organ
A cell
An atom
A tissue
Let's play a guessing game! What do you think this could be an example of?
organ system
cells
organ
tissue
Imagine you're a tiny person, just a few micrometers tall, and you've just landed on the surface of a plant cell. You notice a stiff wall surrounding the membrane, giving the cell a rigid, boxlike shape. What would you call this structure?
cell membrane
cell
ribosome
cell wall
Hey there, smarty pants! Can you tell me which of these is a way your body maintains a stable internal environment, also known as homeostasis?
Being a cold-blooded creature
Breaking a sweat when it's hot outside
Releasing hormones when you're spooked
All of these cool things
Let's play a game! Can you guess what 'this' is an example of?
cell
tissue
organ

Let's play a fun game of 'Guess the Factor'! Is weather an abiotic or biotic factor?
abiotic
biotic
Let's play a fun game of 'Guess the Factor'! Is sunlight an abiotic or biotic factor?
abiotic
biotic
Can you spot the living elements in this picture? Give it a try!
sunlight, elephants, and grasses
sunlight, water, and air
elephants, plants, trees
Let's play a fun game! Can you tell me which statement is true about those sneaky viruses?
They must be alive because they grow and develop, right?
Surely they're living because they can use energy, don't you think?
Wait, are they non-living because they can't reproduce on their own?
Or maybe they're living because they can maintain homeostasis, what do you say?
Let's play a fun game! Can you tell me what viruses are?
prokaryotic
eukaryotic
non-living
endospores
Imagine you're a tiny virus, what would you need to throw a party (reproduce)?
You'd need some genetic material to get the party started
You'd need a host cell to host the party
You'd need some bacteria buddies to join
You'd need insulin to keep the energy up
Pop quiz time! Can viruses actually reproduce all by themselves?
No way, Jose!
Absolutely, they can!
Pop quiz time! Can you guess why viruses are often considered nonliving? Here's a hint:
They're not made of cells - weird, right?
They can't reproduce on their own - they need a host!
They don't exchange gases - unlike us, they don't breathe!
All of the above - they're just that different!
Why do you think a virus is considered non-living? Here's a hint...
Is it because they do not have DNA?
Or, is it because it does not have all the characteristics of life?
Maybe, they can't evolve?
Or, is it because they make you sick?
