Capsid
A protein coat that surrounds the DNA or RNA
Nucleic Acid(DNA or RNA)
carries the genetic information
Aerosols
in relationship to the air

Lytic Cycle
absorbs,penetrate,biosynthesis,assembly,lysis and release
Vehicle of transport
a way for the virus to travel; respiratory aerosol,vectors,fomites,people, contaminated food/water
Attachment
adhesin molecule on the surface of virus,chemically binds to receptors on surface of a cell. Has a very specific reaction
