Question 31

naked viruses are more resistant to extreme pH, heat, dryness, and simple disinfectant. because of their ________, these are transmitted via the fecal-oral route.

Answer 31

stability

Question 32

examples of naked viruses

norovirus, enterovirus, adenovirus, and rhinovirus are all

Question 33

naked viruses are typically more ________ (harsh) than enveloped viruses.

Answer 33

virulent

Question 34

why does the naked viruses are more virulent than enveloped viruses?

Answer 34

because they usually cause host cell lysis.

Question 35

the most common exit mode from the host cell by the naked virus

Answer 35

cell lysis

Question 36

the viruses violate the integrity of the ______________l causing cell death and significant tissue damage to the host organism.

Answer 36

cell membrane

Question 37

these viruses are very susceptible to drying out and destruction or environmental changes .

Answer 37

enveloped viruses

Question 38

these viruses are transmitted via direct contact through respiratory, sexual or parental contact.

Answer 38

enveloped viruses

Question 39

in this way, it prevents the virus from being exposed to the environment and it would lead to a successful propagation of the viral agent to another susceptible host.

Answer 39

the transmission of the enveloped viruses

Question 40

enveloped viruses are less virulent because they don’t always cause ____ during cell exit, although cell death often follows as a consequence of virus replication.

Answer 40

cell lysis

Question 41

Since enveloped
viruses contain an extra ______ or an _______that surrounds the capsid, during virus
assembly and exit from host cells, these viruses
can use the host cell membrane itself to assemble
their membrane, known as an ________

Answer 41

bilipid layer or an outer
membrane; envelope
