1 VIRUSES Text p

2 Cause many _________

3 Are _______ that infect _____cells
When a virus attacks, it shows signs of being _____ Can ________Has biological molecules: protein coat and nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) HIV Influenza virus ebola virus

4 But viruses are not alive
Not cells, have no_________ No metabolism, does not use ATP Do not grow, have no__________ Much smaller than any cell 1/10 the volume of a small bacteria 0.03 to 0.3 μm (10 to 100 x smaller than bacteria) Each virus attacks only a specific type of cell eg. Plant, animal, bacteria A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage (“phage” = to eat) Discovered with the invention of the electron microscope

8 VIRAL REPLICATION

9 VIRAL REPLICATION 2 Types of processes Lytic Cycle: has 4 steps
Attachment: ________________

10 Synthesis: Viral DNA or RNA instruct the cell to produce new virus parts Assembly: New virus parts are brought together and assembled into new viruses

11 Lytic cycle may be completed in only 25-45 minutes
Release: New viruses are released from the infected cell & the cell dies Lytic cycle may be completed in only minutes Hundreds of new viruses produced!

12 The Lytic Cycle

13 VIRAL REPLICATION Lysogenic Cyle
In this cycle, the virus goes into a _________stage (“sleeping”) Virus injects its ____or ____into the host cell, but it does not take control of the host cell Instead, the viral DNA becomes part of the cell’s DNA It is reproduced as the cell is reproduced  all daughter cells contain the virus The host cell does not _____

14 The Lysogenic Cycle

15 At some point, as a result of some stimulation, the virus can be triggered to re-enter the lytic cycle Eg. Stress like pregnancy, serious illness, surgery, psychological stress
