Question 3

Eukaryotes Domain

Answer 3

Eukaryota

Question 4

so small and can only been seen with an electron microscope; they are not living organisms bc they are incapable of carrying out all life processes; are not made of cells; can not reproduce on their own; do not grow or undergo division; do not transform energy; lack machinery for protein synthesis

Answer 4

Viruses

Question 5

What are Viruses Made of?

Answer 5

Nucleic acids, proteins, & sometimes lipids, Capsid Envelope.

Question 6

protective protein coat that surrounds in nucleic acid

Answer 6

Capsid

Question 7

outer membranous layer which are made of lipid and protein that surrounds the capsid in some viruses

Answer 7

Envelope

Question 8

composed of protein subunits called capsomeres
some composed of single type of capsomere, others composed of multiple types

Answer 8

The Viral Capsid

Question 9

The Viral Capsid is composed of single type of capsomere, others composed of multiple types

Answer 9

1. nucleic acid
2. capsomere
3. capsid

Question 10

acquired from host cell during viral release: envelope is portion of membrane system of host; contains proteins and virally-coded glycoproteins (spikes); envelope’s proteins and glycoproteins often play role in host recognition ; if a virus doesn’t have an envelope, it is considered to be a naked virus

Answer 10

The Viral Envelope
