1. Fungal Cells & Viruses
Mrs. Anderson

2. How are fungal cells different than plant cells?
Fungal cells contain a cell wall that is not made of cellulose, but is made of chitin.
Fungal cells may also contain more than one nuclei in a single cell.

3. Viruses
A virus is a non-living particle made up of of a nucleic acid and either a protein or a lipid-protein coat.
Viruses cause diseases in living organisms and are useful tools for genetic research.

4. Virus Structure & Reproduction
Extraordinarily small; smaller than prokaryotes (which are typically smaller than euky.)
No cytoplasm, no organelles, therefor can not carry out cell functions (like metabolism)
They can not grow by dividing.

5. Virus Structure & Reproduction
A virus must enter a living cell and use the host cell’s ribosomes, enzymes, and other molecules in order to reproduce.
