|
|
|
|
* Non-living
|
|
* Not capable of surviving on its own.
|
|
* Acellular.
|
|
* No cytoplasm, ribosomes, or membrane bound organelles.
|
|
* Doesn't produce energy (no metabolism).
|
|
* No self reproduction.
|
|
* No homeostasis.
|
|
* Essentially structures with genetic material (nucleic acid) and protein coating (capsid).
|
|
* Shapes:

|
|
* Bacteriophages are complex viruses which attach to bacteria.
|
|
* Replicates doesn't reproduce.
|
|
* Instructs host cell to make copies of virus DNA
|
|
* Viroids are viruses without capsids.
|
|
* Prions are proteins that cause cells to misfold.
|
|
# Lytic and Lysogenic Cycles
|
|
* Lytic:
|
|
* Cycle:
|
|
* Virus attaches to host cell (either enters or inserts)
|
|
* Tricks host cell to making copies of viral DNA/viral parts
|
|
* Host cell assembles new viruses
|
|
* Host cell releases new virus (some hosts will lysis)
|
|
* Make viruses and then releases them
|
|
* Takes pieces of membrane with it
|

|
|
* Lysogenic:
|
|
* Cycle:
|
|
* Virus attaches to host cell
|
|
* Injects DNA
|
|
* Viral DNA integrates with host cells DNA (other viruses just enter nucleus)
|
|
* Host cell invokes mitosis (binary fission)
|
|
* Thus more host cells with viral DNA
|
|
* Virus stays dormant
|
|
* Provirus: Viral DNA attaches to DNA
|
|
* Leads into lytic cycle
|
|
* Specific to bacteriophages,
|
|

# Classification
|
|
* Size and shape
|
|
* Type of nucleic acid
|
|
* Presence/absence of outer envelope
|
|
|
|
# Diagram
|
|
* Tail fiber shapes allow bacteriophages to infect different types of bacteria.
|
|
* Protein spike shapes allow it to enter different cells.
|
|
* Capsid
|
|
* Protective coating
|
|
* Nucleic Acid
|
|
* DNA or RNA
|
|
* Protein Spikes/Glycoprotein
|
|
* Allows them to attach and enter different cells
