Viruses and Bacteria Section 18.1 Viruses Research List three vaccines and the disease that each vaccine prevents. New Vocabulary Use your book to define the following terms. bacteriophage capsid host cell prion viroid virus lysogenic cycle lytic cycle provirus retovirus reverse transcriptase Use the terms at the left to complete the following paragraph. During a a virus takes over a host cell s genetic material and uses its structures and energy to replicate until the host cell bursts. A virus s nucleic acid integrates into the host cell s chromosome, during a. It is then called a. It replicates each time the host cell reproduces. A makes DNA from its RNA using, an enzyme it carries inside its capsid. The viral DNA is then integrated into the host cell s chromosome. 170 Viruses
Section 18.1 Viruses (continued) What is a virus? Sketch a model of a virus in the space below. Be sure to label the following parts in your sketch. Capsid Nucleic Acid Envelope Describe how a virus enters a host cell. Viral Replication Cycles Label steps A, B, C, D, and E of a lytic cycle in the figure below. Use the following terms. Assembly Attachment Entry Lysis and Release Replication Nucleic acid Bacterial host cell Bacteriophage A E Attachment Bacterial DNA B Lysis and Release The host cell breaks open and releases new virus particles. Entry The bacteriophage injects its nucleic acid into the bacterial cell. D Assembly New virus particles are assembled. C Replication The host s metabolic machinery makes viral nucleic acid and proteins. Viruses and Bacteria 171
