- Q1Viruses can be transmitted through air, water, food, insect bites, and direct skin contact. Once a virus gains entry to the body, it invades a host cell in order to -access cellular processes for replicationdeactivate the host cell’s defensessynthesize antibodies for defensemetabolize host proteins and grow45sBIOL.4c
- Q2A student produces a labeled drawing of a virus for a presentation. The student states that the capsid has a function similar to the nuclear membrane found in animal cells. Which of these describes the similar function of capsids and nuclear membranes?Both transport proteins throughout the structuresBoth provide energy for activities in the structuresBoth protect genetic information for the structuresBoth code for the proteins needed for reproduction of the structures45sBIOL.4c
- Q3In 1898 Friedrich Loeffler and Paul Frosch found evidence that the cause of the highly contagious hoof-and-mouth disease in livestock was a microscopic infectious particle. It was discovered that this particle requires a host cell to reproduce. Which pathogen is most likely responsible for causing hoof-and-mouth disease in livestock?A fungus, because it infects livestockA bacterium, because its contagiousA protist, because its microscopicA virus, because it requires a host cell to reproduce60sBIOL.4c
- Q4In the 1880s, Louis Pasteur developed a method of weakening viruses. The weakened viruses could be injected into healthy individuals. How is this method effective in fighting viral diseases?The rate of genetic mutation in the host is decreased due to the introduction of weakened virusesThe immune system develops antibodies in response to the weakened virusesThe weakened viruses attach to unaffected viruses in the host and interrupt the viral reproductive cycleWeakened viruses are unable to enter the host organism45sBIOL.4c
- Q5Which of these describes a difference between viruses and cells?Cells reproduce independently, and viruses require a host to reproduceCells contain protein, and viruses contain only carbohydratesViruses have flagella, and cells have only ciliaViruses have membranes made of proteins, and cells have membranes made of nucleic acid45sBIOL.4c
- Q6Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is an illness caused by a coronavirus. Symptoms including a high fever, headaches, and body aches typically occur two to seven days after infection by the virus. SARS is more serious in elderly patients. This information suggests that the reproductive cycle of the SARS virus is -lytic, because the virus causes respiratory illnesslytic, because of the quick onset of symptoms after infectionlysogenic, because the virus is a coronaviruslysogenic, because the virus primarily affects older people60sBIOL.4c
