Viruses Are they alive?
Figure 18.1 Comparing the size of a virus, a bacterium, and a eukaryotic cell
Protein Coat DNA or RNA Enzyme Virus Structure
No metabolism Cannot reproduce on their own Cannot move No respiration Do not eat No cellular structures What viruses cannot do
DNA to mRNA to Ribosomes to make new viruses RNA to Ribosomes to make new viruses Result – the cell dies Mode of Attack
Lytic = RNA or DNA routes Lysogenic = RNA to DNA to mRNA to Ribosomes – A reverse route through the cell. Pathways

Created the first immunization against smallpox about 200 years ago. The dead virus spurs the immune system to prepare for the real virus ahead of time. Edward Jenner
History of the virus Other types (FELV), (SIV) and (HTLV) Where did it come from? Immunizations? Cure? HIV I and HIV II HIV
