What have viruses
Genetic material (DNA) and a capsid
What does viruses infected?
Humans
From where do they enter?
From body holes
What does viroids have?
RNA ,
What does viroids infected ?
Plants
How do the viroids enter to the plants?
By seeds
What does a prion have?
Proteins
What does prions infected?
Normally humans but they also can infected animals
What exactly do the prions infected?
The brain
Viruses exist in..
A variety of shapes and sizes
Simple structure of viruses
Genetic material (DNA)
Capsid , a protein shell
Maybe a lipid envelope
They infect bacteria
Bacteriophages
Fisrt way that viruses enter cells
Bacteriophages pierce hosts cells
Second way that viruses enter cells
Viruses of eukaryotes enter by endocytosis
Third way that viruses enter cells
Viruses of eukaryotes also fuse with membrane
How many types a viruses can cause?
2
What are the 2 types that a virus can cause?
Lytic infection
Lysogenic infection
Causes the host cell to burst
Lytic infection
Does no immediate harm
Lysogenic infection
With what some viral diseases can be prevent?
With vaccines
First type of examples of viral infections
Common cold
Second type of examples of viral infections
Influeza
Third type of examples of viral infections
SARS
Of what are made the vaccines?
Weakened pathogens
Stimulates the body’s own immune response
A vaccine
Prepare the immune system for a future attack
Vaccine
Are the only way to control the spread of viral disease
Vaccines
Are both single-celled prokaryotes
Bacteria and archaea
Are widespread on Earth
Prokaryotes
Can be grouped by their need for oxygen
Prokaryotes
Are poisoned by oxygen
Obligate anaerobes
Need oxygen
Obligate aerobes
Can live with or without oxygen
Facultative aerobes
Are structurally similar but have different molecular characteristics
Bacteria and archaea
What are the 3 forms that bacteria come?
Rod-shaped
Spiral
Spherical
Structure of bacteria and archaea
Plasmid
Flagellum
Pili
Is the most diverse of all kingdoms
Kingdom protista
How can a protist be?
Animal-like
Plantlike
Funguslike
Are eukaryotes that are not animals , plants or fungi
Protists
Consume other organisms
Animal-like
Characteristics of animal-like
Heterotrophs
Single-celled
This protists are photosynthetic
Plantilike
Characteristics of plantlike
Single-celled , colonial , or multicellular
No roots , stems , or leaves
This are protists that decompose dead organisms
Funguslike
Characteristics of funguslike
Heterotrophs
Can move , whereas fungi cannot
Are single-celled heterotrophs that can move
Animal-like
How are often called the animal-like protists
Protozoa
Protozoa with flagella are
Zooflagellates
How can a protozoa move?
By pseudopods
What other way protozoa can move?
With cilia
Any disease-cause agent
Pathogens
