Chapter 5 Viruses

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

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
