Bacteria vs Virus

Front

What are the two cycles of viral replication?

Back

The lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle.

Front

How does the lysogenic cycle differ from the lytic cycle?

Back

The host cell is not destroyed immediately.

Front

What is a key difference between cells and viruses?

Back

Only cells contain cytoplasm.

Front

Which domain includes organisms that can survive in extreme environments?

Back

Archaea.

Front

What occurs during lysis of a host cell?

Back

The cell bursts, releasing viruses.

Front

What is the primary method to prevent viral diseases?

Back

Vaccines.

Front

What is a virus?

Back

A virus is a microscopic infectious agent that requires a host cell to replicate.

Front

What is the function of vaccines?

Back

Vaccines stimulate the immune system to recognize and fight specific viruses.

Front

What is the role of viral DNA in the lysogenic cycle?

Back

Viral DNA is integrated into the host's DNA and replicated along with it.

Front

What happens to a host cell during the lytic cycle?

Back

The host cell is destroyed, releasing new virus particles.
