Which of these describes a difference between viruses and cells?

Cells contain protein, and viruses contain only carbohydrates.

Viruses have flagella, and cells have only cilia.

Cells reproduce independently, and viruses require a host to reproduce.

Viruses have membranes made of proteins, and cells have membranes made of nucleic

Ɛhia

A virus is unable to reproduce on its own because it —

lacks genetic material

does not have cellular machinery

cannot mutate

cannot enter host cells

Which term refers to the protein coat that surrounds a virus’s genetic material?

Envelope

Capsid

Cell membrane

Nucleus

Ɛhia

Which feature is found in both cells and viruses?

Ribosomes used to make proteins

A cell membrane that controls movement of materials

Genetic material that carries instructions

The ability to reproduce independently

Materials are provided to students to build models of a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell, and a virus. The materials and the structures they represent are listed in the table shown.
What material will students use in all three models?

Yellow paper oval

A student produces a labeled drawing of a virus for a presentation. The student states that the capsid has a function similar to the nuclear (nucleus) membrane found in animal cells.
Which of these describes the similar functions of capsids and nuclear (nucleus) membranes?

Both transport proteins throughout the structures.

Both provide energy for activities in the structures.

Both protect genetic information for the structures.

Both code for the proteins needed for reproduction of the structures.

A student touches a doorknob that was recently handled by a person infected with a virus. Later, the student rubs their eyes without washing their hands.
Which method of viral transmission most likely occurred?

Airborne transmission

Direct Contact transmission

Fomite transmission

Ɛhia

A virus can survive for several hours on cafeteria tables. Multiple students who never had close contact with each other become infected after eating lunch.
Which factor most likely contributed to the spread of the virus?

The virus mutated to become airborne

The virus required a host to spread

The virus was transmitted through contaminated surfaces

The virus spread through inherited genetic material

During flu season, a school nurse notices an increase in students becoming sick after sitting near classmates who are coughing.
Which type of viral transmission best explains the spread of illness in this situation?

Indirect contact through surfaces

Airborne transmission through respiratory droplets

Host-borne transmission by insects

Transmission through contaminated food
