Virus Flashcards
The capsids consist
Capsomers which build 3D shapes
Viruses can contain either
- Single stranded DNA
- Double stranded RNA
What is a Nucleocapsid?
Virus in a capsid
What do Robot hackers use to hack the host?
Shape adaptations
What do viruses need to replicate?
ATP and other organelles
What are two ways that viruses can get into the host?
- Non-enveloped virus trick cell’s receptors to into letting them in
- Enveloped viruses can trick cell’s receptors or directly fuse with membrane
The lytic stage causes for the cell to
Burst, further creating more viruses
The lysogenic stage causes for the virus to
Combine with the host’s machinery overtime, replicating when the bacteria does
Retroviruses are viruses do not contain
Lytic or lysogenic life cycles
What is a Retrovirus?
Enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus
Reverse transcriptase is found in
Retrovirus
Immature viruses lack
Envelopes
Viroids are made of
Single strand of circular + catalytic RNA
Viroids function by
Making or breaking covalent bonds
Prions lack
Genetic material
