Chapter 5 Viruses
Across
- 2. This is a word for cancer-causing viruses on host cells
- 3. When bacteriophages infect, but remain dormant, not destroying the target cell.
- 5. These are areas where virus-infected cells have been destroyed
- 9. A virus like agent that affects plants, composed of naked strands of RNA, and lacks a capsid or any other type of coating.
- 10. HIV viruses uses this enzyme (it's own) to replicate since the host cell doesn't have it
- 14. This Dr. created a classification system based on the viruses nucleic acid and how it's produced.
- 16. These are seen as a possible solution to killing antibiotic-resistant bacteria
- 17. Damage to host cell by virus
Down
- 1. Together with Dr. Baltimore, this person discovered how HIV infects cells to cause AIDS
- 4. A characteristic of viruses where they cannot multiply unless they invade a specific host cell and instruct it's genetic and metabolic machinery to make more.
- 6. This is an external lipid membrane that viruses sometimes have. It can contain proteins that allow virus's to attach to cells
- 7. The name for a fully formed virus that is able to establish an infection in a host cell.
- 8. The external protein shell of a virus
- 9. Infects every type of cell, non living, cannot reproduce on their own, and only has either RNA or DNA. Never Both
- 11. These are what viruses lack for most metabolic processes
- 12. Composed of proteins and deposited as long protein fibrils in the brain tissues of humans and animals
- 13. What viruses lack for synthesizing proteins
- 15. A disease in tobacco plants that was the first discovery of viruses
