23
Q

Characteristics of a Virus

A

1) No metabolism
2) Protein Coat which surrounds genetic material
3) Single or double DNA or RNA molecule
4) May contain an enzyme but can’t work without a host cell

24
Q

What is a virus

A

Cant be active outside of the host cell. Only exist inside virus particles called varions.

25
Cilia/Flagela
Small-hair-like structures that some cells use for movement or sensing things.
26
Cytosol
Everything inside the cell including the nucleus
27
Vesicles
Transports in the cell
28
Lipid Bilayer
Provides support for the cell, has two "subparts"
