VIRUSES VS CELLS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLVaL6yhK7Q TEK 4C:
Compare the structure of viruses to cells and how viruses cause disease
2
Which one is smaller? Cell or Virus?
3
A virus is an infectious agent made up of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) wrapped in a protein coat called a capsid. Viruses have no nucleus, no organelles, no cytoplasm or cell membrane—Non-cellular This is why it does NOT belong to any kingdom. vs
4
A virus recognizes cells it can infect by matching its surface marker with a receptor site on a cell. Virus Surface Markers Cell Receptor Sites

Comparing Viruses to Cells
10
A Prokaryotic Cell
11
Prokaryotic Fission (Binary Fission)-
Prokaryotic Fission (Binary Fission)- reproduction of prokaryotic cells.
12
Bacterial Diseases Syphilis Typhoid Fever Gangrene Pink Eye Gonorrhea
Bacterial Meningitis Strept Throat Ear infections Sinus Infections Tetanus Pneumonia Plague Dysentery Whooping Cough Gangrene Pink Eye Botulism Flesh Eating Bacteria E. Coli Salmonella Urinary Tract Infections Acne Tuberculosis Chemical Warfare Anthrax
13
Food Poisoning
14
Beneficial Bacteria E. Coli Protein source Yogurt Saprophytes Cheese
Vinegars Wine Biotechnology Buttermilk Sourcream Protein source Saprophytes Decomposing dead organisms Oil Eating bacteria Agriculture Nitrogen fixing bacti Bacterial Cement Sewage Plants Some countries grow bacteria as a protein source. Intestinal bacteria produce & release vitamins (vit.K) & break down proteins, staarches & fat. Lactic Acid bacteria used by dairy industries to manufacture yogurt, cottage cheese, buttermilk, cheese & sour cream. Vinegars are made by allowing acetic acid bacteria to oxidize the alcohol in wine apple cider or malt.
15
Can you Name the Six Kingdoms? Which kingdom do Viruses belong to?
16
Are viruses living? NO ONE
How many characteristics of life do viruses possess? ONE *Genetic Material Are viruses living? NO
17
Viruses with RNA that transcribe into DNA are called retroviruses.
Viruses have either DNA or RNA but NOT both. Viruses with RNA that transcribe into DNA are called retroviruses. Viruses are parasites—an organism that depends entirely upon another living organism (a host) for its existence in such a way that it harms that organism. HIV Infected Cell (This is the reason why HIV is so incurable.) A flea is a parasite to a dog and is harmful to the dog.
18
Bacteriophage—viruses that infect bacteria
Capsid (protein coat) inside contains either RNA or DNA 2. Flu (influenza), HIV DNA or RNA Surface Marker Capsid (protein coat)
19
Bacteriophage—a virus that infects bacteria (bacteria is the host)
Capsid Nucleic Acid Bacteriophage—a virus that infects bacteria (bacteria is the host)
20
Certain viruses can only attack certain cell types
Certain viruses can only attack certain cell types. They are said to be specific. Example: The rabies virus only attacks brain or nervous cells. Surface Markers Virus Receptor Sites It’s like the pieces of a puzzle. The ends have to match up so only certain pieces fit. Cell
21
Importance: Beneficial: *Harmful Causes disease—pathogenic
Disease producing agent—pathogen Human Diseases: Warts, common cold, Influenza (flu), Smallpox, Ebola, Herpes, AIDS, Chicken pox, Rabies Viruses disrupt the body’s normal equilibrium/balance Viruses can be prevented with vaccines, but NOT treated with antibiotics. (antibiotics treat bacteria) Beneficial: Genetic Engineering—harmless virus carries good genes into cells.
22
Flu Attack!!
