Chapter 6 Flashcards
Adsorption
A process of adhering one molecule onto the surface of another molecule
Assembly
Bacteriophage
A virus that specifically infects bacteria; phage means to eat
Budding
The process that releases envelope to viruses from the membrane of the hosts cytoplasm
Capsid
Capsomers
Cell culture
The visible accumulation of micro organisms in or on a nutrient medium
Cytopathic effects
The degenerative changes and cells associated with a virus infection. Example: the formation of multinucleate giant cells (Negri bodies)
Endocytosis
The process whereby solid and liquid materials are taken into the cell through membrane invagination and engulfment into a vesicle
Enveloped virus
Is virus whose nucleo capsid is enclosed by membrane derived and part from the host cell. It usually contains exposed glycho protein spikes specific for the virus
Exocytosis
The process that releases enveloped viruses from the membrane of the host cytoposm
Genome
The complete set of chromosomes and genes in an organism
Helical Caspids
Having a spiral or coiled shape said of certain virus Caspeds and bacteria
Host range
The limitation imposed by the characteristics of the host cell on the type of virus that can successfully invade it
Icosahedron
A regular geometric figure having 20 services that meet To form 12 corners. Some virions have Caspids that resemble icosahedral crystals
Inclusion bodies
A relatively an art body in the cytoplasm such as storage granules, glycogen, fat, or some other aggregated metabolic product
