The main structure of all viruses.
What is the nucleocapsid?
This has to occur first for any virus to enter a cell.
What is a peplomer binding to a complementary receptor on the host?
When a virus is released because a cell ruptures and dies.
What is lysis?
COVID-19 is caused by this virus.
What is SARS-CoV-2?
The virus pictured below and its viral shape.
What is Ebola virus which is flexible helical?
The identical repeating subunits on a virus, which alert the host immune system that they are an invader.
What are proteins called capsomers?
A form of entry that both naked and enveloped viruses can do.
What is endocytosis?
A form of viral release that is also known as exocytosis.
What is budding/blebbing?
The virus that causes COVID-19 is this kind of virus (enveloped or naked, RNA or DNA, ss or ds).
What is an enveloped +ssRNA virus?
The shape of the virus picture below and an example of a virus with that shape.
The presence of this determines viral host range.
What is the complementary receptor on the host species?
A form of entry where only the viral nucleocapsid enters the host cell.
What is membrane fusion?
All bacteriophage leave the host cell through this release method.
What is lysis?
The release method of the virus that causes COVID-19.
What is budding/blebbing?
The viral shape shown in the image below and an example of a virus with that shape.
What is rigid helical and Tubulovirus?
Two kinds of viruses can that cause cancer in humans.
What are DNA viruses and retrovirus viruses?
A form of entry where a viral capsid fuses to the host cell membrane.
What is direct penetration/injection?
Molecular mimicry can occur because of which viral method of release.
What is budding/blebbing?
Primary transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19 and how far it travels.
What is droplet transmission (human-to-human) that travels 6ft or more.
The viral shape picture below and an example of a virus with that shape.
What is icosahedral shape and adenovirus?
Viruses can cause cancer in humans if they insert into the human genome and interrupt either of these two genes.
A form of entry where a virus tricks a cell into thinking it's a useful molecule, like a nutrient.
What is endocytosis?
Herpes viruses leave a host cell through this release method.
What is budding/blebbing?
The COVID-19 virus lasts in the air for ______________ and on surfaces for _______________.
What is 3 hours in air and 3 days on surfaces?
The viral shape pictured below and an example of a virus with this shape.
What is enveloped shaped and Herpes virus (or SARS-CoV-2)?
