48
Q

Parasites that invade host cells and hijack cellular machinery to produce new virus particles

A

Virions

49
Q

T/F Viruses are included in the tree of life

A

False, they have no cell so there is no formal taxonomy

50
Q

What are the 5 characteristics of viruses?

A

-Infectious and acellular
-Obligate intracellular parasite with host or cell type specificity
-DNA or RNA (not both)
- Genetic material surrounded by capsid
- Lack many genes for reproduction; exploit host genome

51
Q

Define bacteriophage

A

viruses that only infect bacteria

52
Q

What is fomite?

A

Inanimate objects that become colonized and possibly allows the transfer to hosts

53
Q

What is direct contact in the context of obtaining infection?

Passes from the infected person to the healthy person via direct physical contact with blood or bodily fluids

T

58

A

Required: Capsid (capsomere subunit) & genomic material (RNA or DNA)
Optional: Envelope and Spikes

59
Q

What are the 3 different ways to classify viruses

A

Capsid shape, envelope, and genomic material

60
Q

What are the 3 different capsid shapes?

Helical (spiral like), Polyhedral (multiple sides), and complex (any other shape)

61
Q

What do bacteriophages in complex form use to attach to bacterial host?

A

Tail fibers and pins

62
Q

What are the 2 categories when grouping viruses by envelope?

Enveloped viruses (phospholipid membrane surrounding capsid) and Naked viruses (capsid only with no envelope)

63
Q

What are spikes made out of?

A

Glycoproteins

64
Q

What is the function of spikes?

A

Protein structures that extend away from the capsid and allows virus to attach and enter the cell

65
Q

What are the 2 types of viruses based off of spikes?

A

Hemagglutinin and neuraminidase

66
Q

What are the 5 types of genomic material?
