Viral Replication (Attachment and Entry) Flashcards
___ must first gain proximity to a cell within a
susceptible organism
virus
are infectious diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans
zoonotic viruses
Free- living bacterial cells encounter virus in the
environment through
random diffusion
encounter virus in the
environment through random diffusion.
free living bacterial cells
For plants, viruses commonly delivered to a new host by
a
vector species
For ___, viruses commonly delivered to a new host by
a vector species
plants
In ___, viruses may be delivered to the body surface
by a vector or by direct contact with particles on
surfaces,
animasl
In animals, viruses may be delivered to the body surface
vector
direct contant with particles
or else viruses can be internalized into the body from the
environment via what tracts (3)
respiratory
GI
genital
need to have preferred mode of entry if they are to multiply
viruses
(prefer
to enter the respiratory system and multiply; if not, they will likely
not cause any disease)
respiratory viruses
mothers can also transfer HIV to your child thru its ___ and __
placenta
blood
___ (part of a virion) must enter a cell for the viral reproduction cycle to occur.
genome
Physical properties of the virion are obstacles to this – viruses too large to diffuse passively across the __ ___
plasma menbrane
cell drinking
pinocytosis
is an active, energy consuming process where extracellular fluid and solutes are taken up into a cell via small vesicles.
pinocytosis
cell eating
phagocytosis
is the process by which a cell takes in large particles, such as microorganisms or dead cell
phagocytosis
First step is adherence of virus particles to the plasma membrane specific ___ molecule on the cell
surface
receptor
plays an important role in uncoating
adhering of virion to the plasma membrane specific receptor molecule on cell surface
is the process where a virus, after entering a host cell, disassembles its protective capsid (or envelope) shell to release the viral genome, allowing for replication and transcription.
uncoating
site of replication of RNA-containing viruses
cytoplasm
site of replication of DNA-containing viruses and RNA-containing retroviruses,
nucleus
can freely exist in the cytoplasm but its replication can be a different
thing
+ssRNA
