viruses

naked RNA that are not bound to proteins

proteins only (ex. mad Cow disease)

has a capsid, has nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) has a membraneous coat

faster process than lysogenic cycle. Virus inserts viral DNA into host cell. Viral DNA replicates until it ruptures and dies.

Viral DNA is inserted into host cell and the viral DNA is incorporated into the host DNA. Is usually latent or dormant

has nucleic acid, protein, reproduces, and evolves

don’t grow, don’t come from pre-existing cells, do not use energy, can be crystallized, can stay in suspended animation, don’t respond to stimuli, can spread(non motile), non cellular

capsid (the thing surrounding nucleic acid), enzyme (the protein at the bottom of thr bacterialphage), nucleic acid (has DNA), tail (has 6 tail fibers)

a noncellular particle made up of genetic material and protein that can invade cells and replicate

hidden. (ex. lysogenic cycles can be latent which can cause tumors)

very harmful. (ex. lytic cycles can be very virulent)

less harmful, don’t spread (ex. warts)

cancerous and can spread

inactive

HIV, HPV, Influenza

skin and other exterior barriers (mucus, sweat, oils, tears, ear wax, digestive acids

inflammatory response, involves phagocytes (ex. white blood cells), engulfs and breaks down invaders, histamine, interferon

involves antibodies - lymphocytes (ex. B-cells and T-cells)

produces antibodies that stick to antigens to deactivate them (antibody mediated immunity)

have antibodies around their surface which allows them to detect invaders (cell mediated attack)

a type of immune cell used to kill microorganisms, ingest foreign materials, and remove dead cells

type of white blood cell that produces antibodies. in most vertebrates

immunoglobulin. A type of protein that fights of antigens

your bodies makes antibodies to fight against invaders (ex. fighting it off when infected, or by vaccination)
