Which of the following is one way a virus can enter the host cell? Depending on the type of virus, each of the choices is a potential entry mechanisms. A virus can gain entry by fusing its membrane with the host cell's membe to transfer its genome into the host cell. A virus can gain entry by injecting its genome into the host cell. A virus can gain entry by fusing with the host cell's membrane so that the entire virus enters the host cell.

Which of the following statements is TRUE concerning viral envelopes? Only viruses with envelopes have their contents enclosed by a layer containing lipids Only viruses without envelopes interact with receptor proteins on the surface of the host cell. Only viruses without envelopes can release their genetic material into the cytoplasm of the host. Only viruses with envelopes package their genetic material by engulfing it.
What allows the membrane of the HIV and the membrane of the host to fuse? The virus capsid dissolves in the phospholipid bilayer of the host cell membrane The virus contacts proteins on the cell membrane of the host, and then the viral proteins undergo conformational changes The virus docks at a pore, which then pulls the virus into the cell membrane due to molecular attractions
Which of the following highly contagious viruses is a single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus with a helical capsid and envelope and is transmitted by coming in contact with respiratory secretions? "This is a highly contagious respiratory illness transmitted when an infected person coughs or sneezes virus particles into the air," the health department said in a written statement. "It's so contagious that if one person is sick and spreading measles, nine out of 10 people around them who aren't immune will get it, too." Group of answer choices a. Measles b. Parvovirus c. Coxsackie virus A d. Rhinovirus
After a virus has entered its host, what factor usually determines the manner (or steps) in which the viral genome is copied and the viral enzymes are produced? the size of the virion the number of infecting virus particles the type of viral genome the type of viral capsid
During infection of a cell by Coronavirus, the N protein is: found on the outer surface of the virus particles synthesized on bound ribosomes on the rough ER synthesized in the cytosol on free ribosomes part of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase required for binding of the virus particle to cells
Which of the following components of a virus is NOT encoded by its own genome? O capsid of HIV O lipid bilayer of HIV envelope O spike glycoproteins of HIV envelope O anchoring structures of bacteriophage
How is the entry (penetration) of an animal virus into its host cell similar or different to the entry of a bacteriophage into its host cell? The entire viral particle (capsid and genome) can penetrate an animal cell, while only the viral genome can penetrate a bacterial cell. There is no difference; the entire viral particle (capsid and genome) penetrates both cell types. There is no difference; only the viral genome penetrates both cell types. The viral genome can penetrate an animal cell, while the entire viral particle (capsid and genome) penetrates a bacterial cell.
Viruses are able to only infect the cells of very specific species Which of the following host cell structures allows a virus into a cell, thus causing disease? O Host cell DNA O Host cell nucleus Host cell receptor sites O Host cell membrane
For a virus to transform a cell, which of the following events must occur: Group of answer choices Cytopathic effects must take place Virion production must be robust All answers are correct The cell must continue to divide The entire viral genome must always be integrated into host DNA
The proteins on the surface of envelope viruses generally have to perform a few key tasks, including: (Choose all that apply) Translating viral proteins. Membrane fusion. Binding to molecules on the surface of host cells. Replicating the viral genome.
Why would viral genome integration into host cell integration be advantageous to a virus? It enables the virus to kill the cell. It allows the virus to infect cells it would not normally infect. It allows the virus to be passed on to future generations of host cells. It allows the virus to destroy the host cell's DNA. It speeds up viral replication.
