Chapter 13 Flashcards
viruses are obilgatory intracellular
parasites
viruses require a living host to
multiply
viruses contain DNA or RNA or both or one of the other?
contain one of the other
viruses have a protein
coat
viruses have no
ribosomes
do viruses have ATP generating mechanisms
no
host range is the spectrum of host cells a virus can
infect
most visas infect only specific types of cells in one
host
the fact vises only infect specific types of cells is determined by
specific host attachment sites and cellular factors
bacteriophages are viruses that infect
bacteria
animal viruses the receptor is on the
plamsa membrane
virion
complete, full developed viral particle
in a virion the DNA or RNA can be single or double stranded but what other 2 shapes could it be
linear or circular
virion have a capsid protein coar made of
capsomeres
virion have spikes which re
projections from outer surface
virion spikes are reliable and used for
identifcation
virion helical virueses
hollow, cylindrical capsid
virion polyhedral viruses
many sided
what types of diseases have helical viruses
rabies and ebola
what type of disease has a polyhedral virus shape
polio
helical and polyhedral viruses can be
enveloped
enveloped helical example
flu
enveloped polyhedral example
herpes
complex virues
complicated structures

viral species
group of viruses sharing the same genetic information and ecological niche (Host)
virus are group according to how their ____ is produced
