Virus Structure
This protein coat surrounds the genetic material of a virus.
What is a capsid?
This cycle of viral reproduction results in the host cell bursting.
What is the lytic cycle?
The four main types of biomolecules include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and these.
What are nucleic acids?
Prokaryotic cells lack this cellular structure found in eukaryotic cells.
What is a nucleus?
Cells are classified as living organisms, while viruses are often described as this.
What is non-living?
Viruses are typically smaller than ______.
What are cells?
In this cycle, viral DNA integrates into the host genome and remains dormant.
What is the lysogenic cycle?
Carbohydrates primarily serve this function in cells.
What is short-term/fast energy?
An example of a prokaryotic organism is this.
What is a bacteria?
Cells can produce energy from nutrients, while viruses rely on this for energy.
What is a host cell?
This feature of some viruses helps them enter host cells.
What is a viral envelope?
The first step in the viral replication process involves this action.
What is attachment?
These molecules act as enzymes and play a role in cellular functions.
What are proteins?
This type of cell often has complex internal structures and functions.
What are eukaryotic cells?
Unlike viruses, cells have the ability to do this over the period of their existence.
What is grow and develop?
Viruses contain these types of genetic material.
What is DNA or RNA?
This is the term for the virus leaving the host cell, often killing it in the process.
What is lysis?
Nucleic acids are made up of these building blocks.
What are nucleotides?
What is a chloroplast?
A tree growing in the direction of a window in a sunlit room is an example of how living organisms exhibit this characteristic.
What is responding to their enviornment?
This type of virus specifically infects bacteria.
What is a bacteriophage?
This is an example of a virus that undergoes lysogenic viral replication.
What is HIV?
Phospholipids, a kind of lipid, serve this important structural role in cells.
What is forming the cell membrane?
This type of prokaryotic cell has cell walls made of peptidoglycan.
What is a bacteria cell?
Cells possess the organelle for protein synthesis, whereas viruses rely on the host cell's.
What are ribosomes?
