Virus

TermDefinition
Not Living Virus are not made of cells and can not perform 'life functions' like being able to reproduce on its own.
Parts of a virus Core of genetic material and a unique protein coat that allows the virus to attach to specific cells.
Active Virus reproduction using other cells. 1. Virus attaches to a cell. 2. Inject viral genetic material into cell. 3. Host cell makes the copies of the virus. 4. Host cell fills up with the virus and bursts open releasing the virus to attack other cells.
Hidden virus reproduction using other cells. 1. Virus attaches to a cell. 2. Inject viral genetic material into cell. 3. Viral genetic material becomes part of the host genetic cell. 4. At some time the viral material becomes active. 5. Host will make virus. 6. Cell fills up-bursts.
Size of virus Smaller than a plant cell, animal cell, protist cell, bacteria cell.
