| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are viruses? | nonliving particles that are very small |
| Are cells nonliving? If so, why not? | Yes because they aren't made of cells and they can't reproduce |

| Where must the virus attach in order to reproduce? | the host cell's receptor site with attachment protein |
| What is the lytic cycle? | It's when the virus enters the cell, forces the cell to make copies and causes the cell to burst forming new viruses |
| What can fight a virus's lytic cycle? | your immune system |
| Examples of a virus's lytic cycle.. | flu or a cold |
| What happens in lysogenic cycle? | The virus DNA is injected into the provirus, the host cell acts normally (reproducing viruses indefinitely. |
