T/F In the lysogenic stage of phage replication, the host cell is lysed.

FALSE

T/F Once a phage becomes lysogenic, it will remain lysogenic and never be lytic again.

FALSE

True/False Animal viruses always kill cells they infect.

FALSE Some viruses do not kill their host cell, but instead remain latent inside of the cell.

True/False Viruses can be grown on culture media like bacteria.

FALSE Viruses can only be grown in living cells, because they require a host cell for metabolism and reproduction.

T/F A positive sense strand lytic RNA phage attaches to the cell wall of an E. coli bacterium.

FALSE it attaches to the pilus

True/False All viruses leave a cell by exocytosis.

False Some viruses are released when the cell lyses.

True/False A naked virus fuses with the host cell membrane.

False: Since a naked virus lacks an envelope, it cannot fuse with the plasma membrane. The envelope in enveloped viruses can fuse with the host cell's membrane allowing the nucleocapsid to enter the cell.

Release

Final stage of viral replication, culminating in complete virus or virion ready to infect another cell Can occur in 2 ways: 1. budding/exocytosis (enveloped viruses) 2. Lysis (bacteriophages & naked viruses)

Assembly

Host cell membrane proteins are used to create a new viral envelope structure - Viral spike proteins are inserted into the cell membrane for the viral envelope - nucleocapsid is formed from RNA and capsomers

Penetration & Uncoating

Receptor mediated endocytosis: 1. nucleic acid from capsid injected into host (bacteriophages) 2. Viral envelope fusion with cell membrane 3. Endocytosis of virus by cell Uncoating: - animal viruses use enzymes to dissolve the envelope (if present) & capsid in order to release the viral nucleic acid (RNA) into host cytoplasm

Synthesis

Replication and Protein production - virus hijacks host metabolic & replication machinery to create necessary components for assemblage of new virions - RNA molecules - capsomers - spikes

A portion of the viral envelope comes from the cell membrane of the host cell.

TRUE

T/F Both naked and complex viruses are released from host cells via lysis once mature.

TRUE

T/F Phage-induced lysozyme lyses the host cell releasing the newly made phage.

True. Both enveloped and naked viruses can enter a cell by endocytosis.

lysogeny

the indefinite persistence of bacteriophage DNA in a host without bringing about the production of virions

A lysogenized bacteriophage; a phage that is latently incorporated into the host chromosome instead of undergoing viral replication and lysis

a bacteriophage that enters into a less virulent state by becoming incorporated into the host genome as a prophage instead of in the vegetative or lytic form that eventually destroys the cell

syncytia

a multi-nucleated protoplasmic mass formed by consolidated of individual cells result from some viruses ability to fuse membranes
