Viruses, Virus Structure, and Cell Comparison

QuestionAnswer
The outer protein coat of a virus capsid
All viruses are made of nucleic acids and ___________. proteins
A "non-living" particle made of DNA/RNA surrounded by a protein coat;infects living cells and can only reproduce with the help of living cells virus
A virus that infects a bateria cell bacteriophage
Infection cycle that ends in the bursting and destroying of a host cell lytic cycle
Intructions for new copies of a virus; these are contained inside the capsid viral DNA/RNA
Infection cycle in which viral DNA fuses with the host cell DNA; host cell replicates with viral DNA lysogenic cycle
Viral diseases can be prevented with a _______________ (weakened or killed virus) vaccine
Protects and surrounds the DNA/RNA of a virus protein coat (capsid)
Found only in a cell; controls cell's activties and contains genetic material nucleus
Controls and blocks the growth of bacteria NOT a virus; given by a doctor when you have a bacterial infection antibiotic
A cold, the flu, AIDS, measles and polio are considered _______________________. viral diseases
Botulism and strep throat are considered _________________________. bacterial diseases
Jellylike substance found ONLY in cell; holds all organelles in place cytoplasm
A structure on a virus which binds to the receptor sites of a cell; "tricks" the cell to allow the viral DNA inside surface proteins
Fibers found on a bacteriophage virus; they help the virus to attach to the host cell tail fibers
Organelles found ONLY in cells and are responsible for the assembly of proteins ribosomes
Flexible barrier found ONLY in cells; regulates what enters and leaves the cell cell membrane
