The outer coat of a virus is made out of this substance
What is protein?
100
This type of virus invades a cell and produces new viruses right away.
What is an active virus?
100
Viruses are not cells and do not use their own energy to grow, therefore they are considered to be
What is nonliving?
100
Viruses are not given a scientific binomial name because
What is they are nonliving?
200
A small non living particle that invades a cell and uses it to reproduce and multiply.
What is a virus?
200
The inner core of the virus is made of this
What is genetic material or DNA?
200
These viruses invade a cell and become part of the host's genetic material. They may stay inactive for a time.
What are hidden viruses?
200
When you compare the size of a virus to a bacteria cell, it is
What is smaller
200
The virus named after a place in Africa
What is Ebola?
300
Organisms that live on or in in host and cause harm to the host are called
What are parasites?
300
This part of the virus provides protection.
What is the outer protein coat?
300
Reason that viruses only invade specific cells. For example a cold virus will only invade nose or throat cells.
Because the protein coat of the virus and the outside of the nose and throat cells act like a "lock and key" allowing the cold virus to only attach to those cells specifically.
300
Viruses are so small they are measured in this unit
What is the nanometer?
300
Virus named after the disease it causes. FDR is a famous person who had this disease.
What is polio?
400
A living thing that provides a source of energy for a virus or another parasite.
What is a host?
400
This part of the virus contains all the instructions for making new viruses.
What is the genetic material?
400
The main difference between hidden and active virus replication.
What is during hidden virus replication, the DNA of the virus becomes part of the host's DNA.
400
A virus can infect organisms from these kingdoms.
What are plant, animal, fungi, bacteria, and protist?
400
This virus infects tomato plants.
What is tomato mosaic virus.
500
When you are sick with a cold you are the __________ and the cold viurs is the ______________.
What are host and parasite?
500
In addition to providing protection, the outer protein coat also helps the virus do this.
What is attach to a specific host?
500
Put these steps of active virus replication in order:
-virus injects its DNA into the host cell
-new viruses are assembled
-cell bursts releasing new viruses
-virus takes over and makes new virus parts
-virus attaches to the host cell
1. virus attaches to the host cell
2. virus injects its DNA into the host cell
3. virus takes over and makes new virus parts
4. new viruses are assembled
5. cell bursts releasing new viruses?
500
Viruses can be used to help people with diseases such as cystic fibrosis. This is called
What is gene therapy?
500
This virus causes mono and was named after the two scientists that discovered it.
