viruses Flashcards
the most in our body
bacteriofage (affect bacteria)
viruses are…
non cellular
inside a host
no membrane or nucleus
virusus recognize …
only specific cells
(HIV=immune)
they can affect…
bacteria
funghi
plant
animal
2 structures
protein casule + DNA or RNA
RNA example
HIV
DNA example
hepatit C
DNA and RNA have…
a protective coat called capsid
sometimes addigtional coat called envelope
reproduction of DNA viruses
virus injects DNA into host
our enzymes replicate DNA and reproduce protein
we do not have material to surronder its genetic code so we use RNA for coat protein
this is lytic cycle
lysogenic cycle
injects DNA and reproducte but do not synthesize protein or reproduce DNA the cell just divides
when conditions are okay = lytic cycle
lysogenic example
herpes simplex virus
RNA reproduction () retrovirus
virus with a reverse transcriptase enzyme enters the cell
this enzyme makes RNA to DNA
and DNA double helix
then integration of DNA copy into host chromosome
than protein synthesis
results in coat protein, envelope protein, reverse transcriptase
SARS-CoV-2:
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
RNA to RNA
HIV:
Reverse Transcriptase
RNA to DNA
STD
sexual or skin transferred
some mother to child during pregnancy childbirth or breastfeeding
std are caused by
bacteria
virus
parasite
true or false? sometimes symptoms take too long
true
