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.

This is a product label for a germicide. HIV-1, HBV, and HCV are all viruses that can be found in the blood. Why does the label say you have to thoroughly clean blood and body fluids from surfaces before applying he gemicide? A The germicide probably smells really bad if it combines with blood or other body fluids. B If blood is present and you apply a germicide, you will have too much fluid to safely mop up. C Blood and other body fluids can interact with the germicide and prevent the germicide from killing pathogens.

Rhinoviruses, 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 less 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.
