BIO 2117

Microbiology Unit 1 Chapter 6

QuestionAnswer
DNA or RNA, with or without an envelope and the structure of the nucleic acid are all classification tools for viruses
infectious particles viruses
according to cell theory viruses are acellular
does not contain organelles acellular
viruses require a _____ _____ to replicate host cell
DNA or RNA can either be ________ ________ stranded single;double
viruses do not contain both DNA and RNA
all living things have double stranded DNA
viruses inability to synthesize proteins id ude to a lack of ribosomes
viruses have no ability to chemically process energy due to a lack of metabolism
viruses do not respond to stimuli
viruses are considered ________ or ________ as opposed to living or dead active; inactive
viruses do not make their own energy non-autotrophic
viruses do not require substrates non-heterotrophic
the two main viral components covering and central core
viruses contain either _____ or _____, never both DNA; RNA
the capsid and envelop make up the covering
nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) and the matrix protein enzymes make up the central core
viruses are measured in nanometers which make them ultramicroscopic
viruses are classified by their structures
external structures complex virus
enveloped viral covering enveloped virus
a virus that performs reverse transcriptase encoding retrovirus
a unique virus that contains double stranded RNA reovirus
RNA to DNA to RNA to protein is reverse transcriptase
DNA or RNA, +/- an envelope, single or duoble stranded nucleic acid are all methods of viral classification
single stranded DNA virus that causes respiratory infections parvovirus
20-sided viral arrangement icosahedron
capsids are made up of protein molecule constructed subunits capsomeres
simple rod-shaped capsomeres that bond to form a series of hollow discs helical capsids
shell that surrounds the nucleic acid capsid
capsid and nucleic acid make up nucleocapsid
when classifying RNA viruses, single stranded genomes can be further broken down by segmented or nonsegmented
protruding molecules on the viral envelope spikes
viral mutiplication cycle: virus attaches to the host cell membrane by way of specific binding of its spikes to receptors absorption
viral mutiplication cycle: the virus is engulfed into the cytoplasm by way of a vesicle penetration
viral mutiplication cycle: envelop is removed to release infectious RNA uncoating
viral mutiplication cycle: controlled cell synthesizes basic components of new viruses synthesis
viral mutiplication cycle: spike proteins are inserted into cell membrane and nucleocapsids are formed assembly
viral mutiplication cycle: new virus buds off taking portion of plasma membrane release
cellular eruption from non-enveloped virus lysis
enveloped virion release individually budding
RNA viruses replicate within cytoplasm
DNA viruses replicate within nucleus
latent and chronic terminology is interchangeable
cnacer causing viruses oncogenic
viral infection causes changes in cells that can be observed, known as cytopathic effects
an example of a virus with repeated periods of activity and latentcy herpes
an example of a virus with an initial infection followed by an extended latent period HIV
inclusion bodies of viral proteins, loss of cellular shape and multiple nuclei are all examples of cytopathic effects
live animal, embryo and tissue inoculation of virion for harvesting virus cultivation
type of virus cultivation performed primarily in research labs in which cultivation comes from viral plaques
simplest infectious particle prion
naked infectious proteins cause this type of infection neurological
the latent period for prions is no more than 3 years
two examples of diseases caused by infectious prions Kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD)
