Acellular Pathogens

Structure

100

This part of the structure is made when the virus bursts out/is left over from the host.

The viral envelope. 

200

A coat of protein that surrounds the acellular pathogen that contains the bare necessities for the pathogen to survive.

The Capsid

300

This part of the structure is used when the virus needs to attach to the host. 

Protein spike.

400

This makes up the capsid and is the "monomer" of teh capsid.

capsomeres. 

500

What makes up the structure of a capsid in an enveloped virus. 

Proteins along with phospholipids to repel unwanted things floating around them. 

Imposters

100

A floating piece of RNA known for its infections of agriculture. 

A Viroid 

200

A miss formed protein that is known for its role in mad cow disease.

Prion

300

This acellular pathogen requires a helper to infect the host. Only 5 types of this pathogen.

A Virusoid

400

Both viroids and virusoids have a(n) _________ genome, but virusoids require a(n) _________ to reproduce.

RNA, Helper

500

Turns Endogenous PrpC into PrPsc. Responsible for the Kuru virus. Think Spongebob

A prion

Life Cycles

100

Some viruses use the lysogenic cycle to become dormant. This causes acute symptoms before becoming dormant. What type of infection reappears when the symptoms return.

A latent infection.

200

Type of virus that causes persistent infections/symptoms

Chronic.

300

This form of DNA transfer happens when a bacrophage takes up DNA from a former host and deposits it in a new host. 

Transduction.

400

This term refers to the ability of a virus to only attach to the intened target rather than anything in extracellular space.

tissue tropism

500

What is a provirus?

What happens when a single strand RNA attaches to the reverse transcriptase of another's DNA causing the two to become integrated. 

Random

100

Considered not alive while meeting most of the requirements.

A Virus

200

What type of acellular pathogen infects a bacteria

bacteriophages

300

What type of microscope is used to study acellular pathogens?

Bonus Points: What range of measurements are acellular pathogens in?

Electronmicroscop.

Bonus: 20 nanometer to 900 nanometers

400

How is a virus named?

through the morphology, chemistry, enveloped or not, host specify, among other things.

500

How does an mRNA virus work

The mRNA gets absorbed into our DNA which will move on to reproduce in our body. very quickly.

Hard Stuff

100

explain why a virus is not alive

A virus is missing the important part of the life requirements of reproduction. A virus must use another "host" in order to make more of itself. 

200

Explain what happens to a bacterium when a bacrophage infects the bacteria and uses the lytic cycle. 

The bacteria has its DNA rewritten to evolve the new DNA so that the bacteria can reproduce the virus. This ends in the lysis of the cell. 

300

How can a virus be separated from a mixture? 

Viruses are filterable. 

400

name the phases in specialized transduction.

Attacment, Penetration, integration, excision, infection, recombination. 

500

Explain the difference between the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle. 

The lytic cycle does not have the latent/dormant period that the lysogenic cycle does.
