Pre-quiz 1. Why did it take so long to discover viruses? 2. Of what are viruses made? 3. What assists viruses in infecting foreign Cells? 4. Are viruses Alive? 5. Why do viruses need a host?
3
Pre-quiz 6. Are viruses made of DNA or RNA? 7. How do the Lytic and Lysogenic cycle differ? 8. Why is it called a retro-virus and give an example? 9. How does a vaccine work 10. What’s the difference between an epidemic and pandemic?
4
Viruses unclassified until 1935 TMV ( Tobacco Mosaic Virus)
5
American Scientist Wendell Stanley Crystallized TMV 1935 first SEM pictures taken
6
Structure of Virus Nucleic Acids Enclosed in protein coat Sometimes membranous envelope
7
Capsid- protein shell enclosing viral genome
8
Viral envelopes derived from host cell. Contain phospholipids and host proteins
9
Bacteriophages or phages Attack bacteria Guess which bacterial phages were first studied.
10
Hosts Host Range Can be very general or very specific Based on Shape Lock and Key analogy
11
Why do viruses need host? What are they made of? Still need other parts required for ATP and Replication, and protein synthesis
12
Lytic Cycle Lysogenic cycle Lyses the cell Virulent Phage Does not destroy cell prophage Temperate Phages
13
Lytic Cycle
14
Lytic cycle
15
Lytic Cycle
16
Lytic cycle
19
Temperate Phage
20
Animal Viruses Envelope allows to infect animal DNA vs. RNA Double Stranded vs. Single Stranded
21
Enveloped RNA Virus Herpes
22
Retrovirus
23
HIV
24
Use your book to compare and contrast : Viruses, Viroids, Prions
25
Of what are viruses made? Why do viruses need a host? How do the Lytic and Lysogenic cycle differ? Why is it called a retro-virus and give an example? What is the difference between a Prion, and viroid?
