Covers Unit 2: Cells & Viruses
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| T or F: Antibiotics help protect against viruses. | FALSE |
| How are the lytic and lysogenic cycle similar? | Both are cycles that involve viral replication. |
| How are the lytic and lysogenic cycle different? | Symptoms of the lytic cycle occur quickly after infection, the lysogenic cycle takes longer for symptoms to show even after exposure. |
| How are eukaryotic & prokaryotic cells similar? | Both contain genetic information, have a cell membrane, are living organisms, contain ribosomes. |
| Proteins are made in which organelle? | ribosomes |
| Which microorgansims can reproduce asexually? | prokaryotic & viruses (with a host cell) |
| Name one benefit of bacteria. | - can help decompose dead organisms - help digest food - help create life-saving medicines |
| Give 3 ways viruses can spread. | - airborne - direct contact - contaminated surfaces |
| How is the cell wall and cell membrane different? | The cell wall provides plants with structural support and works as an additional barrier. The cell membrane allows things to go in and out of the cell. |
| Where can DNA be found in prokaryotic & eukaryotic cells? | free-floating in prokaryotes & in the nucleus of eukaryotes |
| What are the two main structural components of a virus? | capsid (protein coat) & genetic material (DNA or RNA or both) |
| How are viruses & cells different? | - Cells can reproduce on their own, virsues require a host cell to replicate. - Cells are living things and viruses are not |
