Concept explainers

Virus

Viruses are infectious microscopic agents that can only reproduce in live cells of animals, plants, or microbes and are smaller than bacteria. Vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, protists, and fungi are among their many hosts. Viruses are unable to multiply on their own due to the lack of necessary cellular machinery, but they can guide the cell machinery of a host to make additional viruses by infection. The virus enters and attaches to a particular host cell, injects its genetic material, and reproduces by using the host’s genetic material. Viruses cause infection by taking entry into the host cell and using the host cell’s enzymes and raw materials to multiply.

Question

2. How does a naked virus differ from an enveloped virus? In your answer please include how an
enveloped virus obtains its envelope and what the envelope is made of. Both naked and
enveloped viruses can be said to have "protection" due to their structural make up. What is
each protected from?

1. Viruses can be grown in vivo (using live animals such as mice and embryonated eggs) and in vitro (using cell cultures). Explain how these methods (live mice and cell cultures) are used to culture viruses.
1. "Describe how the T‐even bacteriophage attaches and enters the host cells. Which part of the virus particle enters the cell? 2. Simple virus capsids are found in two types of structural arrangements: helical and icosahedral. What are the key features in the assembly of these two kinds of particles? 3. How do enveloped viruses acquire their membranes during their maturation in animal cells?"
4. Write a discussion on the "Structure of Virus". (You may read chapter 17 and any other peer- reviewed material such as scientific journals etc. that you can find to write your discussion).
2. While there are drugs available to treat viral infections, again, it is a very small number compared to the number available to treat bacterial infections. Explain why it is easier to develop a drug to treat bacterial infections compared to developing a drug to treat viral infections. Consider the life cycle of a virus in your answer.
The cell is the basic unit of all living things, and viruses which are generally not considered living but have the ability to infect cells. Describe how the structure of a virus compares to the structure of a cell. You should explain (not list) at least two similarities and two differences between features of cells and viruses including a brief explanation of the function of those structures. Explain why viruses need cells.

Explain that a virus can’t be treated with an antibiotic and why
1. "Briefly describe the two modes that enveloped viruses use for entry into their host cells. 2. How do nonenveloped viruses enter their host cells? Describe in detail one example. 3. How do plant viruses enter their host cells? What feature of the plant cell's architecture dictates these modes of entry?"
17. Animal viruses: Describe the replication cycle of a retrovirus like HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus). You may draw or describe the cycle. Be sure include how HIV carries out the steps of replication/multiplication from attachment/adsorption through release.
2. Briefly describe the replication of Adenoviruses, Filoviruses, Picornaviruses, and Retroviruses viral families. This description should include the cell receptors (surface markers) they target and the methods by which new virus particles are released from infected cells.
Rhinovirus, the most common cause of colds, do not have a lipid envelope. Compared to enveloped viruses these and other nonenveloped viruses tend to remain infectious outside the body longer, are more likely to be spread by contact with surfaces, and are likely to be rendered harmless by exposure to hand sanitizer or hand washing. Explain how the lack of an envelope could contribute to these characteristics.
