QUESTION 2 Which of the following descriptions correctly identifies the main structural differences between enveloped and non-enveloped viruses? Both types of viruses have a capsid and phospholipid membrane; but in the viruses without envelopes, the genetic material is between these two membranes, while in the viruses with envelopes the genetic material is inside both membranes. Viruses with envelopes have a phospholipid membrane outside their capsid, whereas viruses without envelopes do not have a phospholipid membrane Viruses with envelopes have their genetic material enclosed by a layer made only of protein. Viruses without envelopes have only a phospholipid membrane, while viruses with envelopes have two membranes, the other one being a protein capsid.

The cell is the basic unit of all living things, and viruses which are generally not considered living but have the ability to infect cells. Describe how the structure of a virus compares to the structure of a cell. You should explain (not list) at least two similarities and two differences between features of cells and viruses including a brief explanation of the function of those structures. Explain why viruses need cells.
Question 1 Why have the majority of viruses evolved to bind to a host surface receptor that serves an essential function in the host cell? This is completely accidental. These host receptors are poorly protected by the adaptive immune system, making them an easy target for the virus. O Because proteins that perform essential functions are located only on the surface of the host cell. O Host surface receptors that are essential for the host will always be expressed and present on the host.
Many viruses enter host cells through receptor- mediated endocytosis, What is an advantage of this entry strategy? The virus directly enters the cytoplasm of the cell The virus is protected from recognition by white blood cells The virus only enters its target host cell type The virus can directly inject its genome into the cell’s nucleus.
Which of the following statements regarding viral genomes is FALSE? Question options: viral genomes are always comprised of RNA viral genomes are smaller than the genomes of cellular life viral genomes can be either single-stranded or double-stranded viruses can have as few as three genes viral genomes do not encode ribosomal RNAs all these statements are TRUE The ______________ of a virus is a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins and glycoproteins Question options: capsid chromosome envelope nucleocapsid spike receptor
Rhinovirus, the most common cause of colds, do not have a lipid envelope. Compared to enveloped viruses these and other nonenveloped viruses tend to remain infectious outside the body longer, are more likely to be spread by contact with surfaces, and are likely to be rendered harmless by exposure to hand sanitizer or hand washing. Explain how the lack of an envelope could contribute to these characteristics.
You have recently isolated a virus associated with a human disease. The virus particles are spherical, ~100 nm in diameter, and possess an envelope. Would you expect to find glycoproteins in the viral envelope? yes Would knowing that the particles are spherical mean that they are built with icosahedral symmetry? [Select]
2.4 SARS-CoV-2 is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets when an infected person sneezes, coughs, or talks. How might this relate to the size and/or structure of viruses?
Syn5 is a virus that infects photosynthetic bacteria belonging to the genus Synechococcus. The Syn5 virion is icosahedral (660 Å in diameter) with a short tail and an appendage called a horn. The horn is located on a vertex directly opposite the tail. Syn5 follows the typical five steps observed for most viruses when they multiply, and progeny viruses are released when the host lyses. The assembly of Syn5 virions involves several proteins, including capsid proteins, scaffolding proteins, a portal protein, a terminase, tail proteins, and horn proteins. To better understand the assembly of Syn5 virions, scientists used a type of microscopy called Zernike phase contrast electron cryotomography. This type of microscopy improves the contrast typically seen for conventional cryotomography. In their studies, the scientists observed several different developing virus particles in infected cells. The particles were: (1) 660 Å icosahedron containing DNA and having a tail; (2) 660 Å icosahedron…
1. "Describe how the T‐even bacteriophage attaches and enters the host cells. Which part of the virus particle enters the cell? 2. Simple virus capsids are found in two types of structural arrangements: helical and icosahedral. What are the key features in the assembly of these two kinds of particles? 3. How do enveloped viruses acquire their membranes during their maturation in animal cells?"
viruses:1. Why must primary cell cultures be restarted every so often when preparing primary cell cultures to observe morphological changes caused by cells infected by a virus? Why are tumor cells preferred? 2. Why are non-enveloped viruses generally more resistant to disinfectants than are enveloped viruses? 3. A public health physician isolated large number of phages from rivers used as a source of drinking water in western Africa. They physician is very concerned that humans might become ill from drinking this water, although she knows that the phages specifically attack bacteria. Why is she concerned?
Select all the following statements that are TRUE regarding viruses: □ All viruses are potentially dangerous to humans because any virus can infect any host. □ Viruses are fastidious pathogens that require complex growth media. □ Viruses are noncellular particles that take over the metabolism of a cell to generate more virus particles. □ Viruses are genomes made of RNA and DNA that lack many protein. □ Viruses can infect all other known life forms on earth, from Archaea to humans.
All HPV are non-enveloped double stranded DNA viruses. Their genomes are circular and approximately 8 kilobase pairs in size. Most encode eight major proteins, 6 located in the “early” region and 2 in the “late” region. The “early” proteins are regulatory in function.... Can you please elaborate about the HPV genome in more detail that what I posted above? Thanks.
