| reproduction | the one life process that viruses seem to do (with the energy from a host cell)
🗑
|
||||
| protein coat | is on the outside of the virus, protects it, and helps it to attach to host cell
🗑
|
||||
| genetic material | in core (or center) of virus and contains instructions for making new viruses
🗑

||||
| lock and key | the shape of proteins on the outside of a virus allow it to attach to only certain cells
🗑
|
||||
| active virus | immediately begins taking over cell functions and multiplying (ex. flu and common cold)
🗑
|
||||
| hidden virus | virus's genetic material hides and becomes part of the cell's genetic material for a period of time before multiplying (ex. cold sores and HIV)
🗑
|
||||
| gene therapy | when virus is used as a "messenger service" to enter cells and deliver genetic material that is needed
🗑

| treatment for most viral illnesses | bed rest and drinking fluids
🗑

To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
