Worksheet time: 10mins

Date
1.

When a virus attaches to a host, what does it inject into the host?

a)

Protein coat

b)

DNA/genetic material

c)

Capsid

d)

Envelope

2.

Label the correct steps of the LYTIC CYCLE.

3.
What process is this?
(a)  
Choose from the below words
lysogenic cycle
phagocytosis
lytic cycle
formation of antibodies
4.

Label the Virus with the correct parts.

5.

Select the Viral Reproductive Cycle where the virus introduces its gnome into a host cell and initiates replication by hijacking the host's cellular machinery to make new copies of the virus. Once infection is complete, the virus particles are released through lysis of the host cell.

6.

Select the Viral Reproductive Cycle by which a virus can replicate its DNA by using a host cell. In this Reproductive Cycle only the DNA is replicated, but not translated into proteins.

7.

What is the main function of a virus when it attaches to a host?

a)

Replicate its genetic material

b)

Destroy the host cell

c)

Inject its genetic material into the host

d)

Form a protein coat around the host cell

8.

Which component of a virus is responsible for attaching to a host cell?

a)

Protein coat

b)

DNA/genetic material

c)

Capsid

d)

Envelope

9.

Organize these options into the correct categories.

Categorize the following

have Organelles

protein capsid

DNA/RNA

Have Proteins

Reproduce independently

need a host to reproduce

Evolve

maintain homeostasis

sole purpose is to replicate

Cells
VIruses
Both
10.

Which of the following are a virus? (multiple answers)

a)

b)
