Is a virus living or non living, why
Virus is non living and attaches itself to living cells. They lack cytoplasm, organelles, and cell membranes.
What is polyhendral
Many sided
What is helical
Nucleic acid enclosed in hollow cyndrlicial capsid
What is enveloped
Roughly spherical
What is complex
Combo with another structure to make legs
Describe the Lyric cycle
Areal (attachment, entry, replication, assembly, lysis and release)
What is lysogenic cycle
Viral DNA joins host chromosomes and provirus is formed. Activated later to produce new virus in response to external trigger, then go into lytic cycle.
What is the smallest independent living organism
Bacteria
Bacteria characteristics (cell #, pro or eu, DNA placement, cell wall)
Unicellular, prokaryotic, circular DNA loop, wall of peptiglycon
What are protists and the three types.
