Q

How did scientists prove that SARS is caused by a virus?

A
  • SARS = severe acute respiratory syndrome (guess - because more and more people became sick because of it)

16
Q

How does a virus bind to the cell it infects?

A

it tricks the cell into thinking it is a cell then binds to the cell with its receptors. (virus & cell receptors interact)

17
Q

What happens to a virus after it binds to a cell?

A

fusion : envelope merges with cell membrane

18
Q

What carries the viral genetic material into a cell?

A

the capsid.

19
Q

Where is viral DNA made?

A

replication (production/copying of DNA or RNA) takes place in the nucleus.

20
Q

How are viral proteins made?

A

translation (new viral proteins are made) in the ribosomes.

21
Q

What is assembly?

A

assembly - new viruses are put together

22
Q

What is lysis?

A

lysis - when the cell breaks (lyses) or dies.

23
Q

What happens to a newly made virus after it leaves an infected cell?

A

infects more cells.

24
Q

How many cells are found in a Moneran and do they have a nucleus?

A

monerans = single celled organisms, no distinct nucleus (prokaryotes)

25
Where are Monerans found?
nearly everywhere.
26
What are two main classification groups for Monerans?
archaebacteria and eubacteria.
27
What is an example of an archaebacteria and eubacteria?
``` archaebacteria = METHANCOCOCCUS JANNASCHII eubacteria = STREPTOCOCCUS PYROGENES ```
28
Name the three shapes of Monerans.
cocci - round or egg shaped bacteria bacilli - rod shaped bacteria sprilla - spiral shaped bacteria
29
What is the difference between anaerobic and aerobic bacteria?
aerobic - bacteria that requires oxygen to live | anaerobic - bacteria that live without oxygen
30
What are antibiotics and what do they kill?
kills bacteria. EX. penicillin, kills strep throat
31
What are some helpful activities of Monerans?
fermentation, decomposition, digestion, and nitrogen fixation.
32
What are some harmful activates of Monerans?
disease and spoilage.

34
How are viruses and bacteria similar?
no nucleus.
35
How are viruses and bacteria different?
no cells vs. 1 cell / all harmful vs. some good / invade host cells and copy viral DNA vs. reproduces by fision.
