|
400
|
|
Describe the 1 step growth curve of viruses
|
0-5 minutes: Penetrations
5-25 minutes: Biosynthesis and maturation after 25 minutes: Cell burst pgae particles are released by lysis |

|
|
Step 1 in Multiplication of Animal Viruses
|
Attachments
Virsuses attaches to cell membrane |
|
Step 2 in Multiplication of Animal Viruses
|
Penetation
By Endocytosis (naked virus) or Fusion (enveloped) |
|
Step 3 in Multiplication of Animal Viruses
|
Uncoating
envelop removal or capsid removal |
|
Step 4 in Multiplication of Animal Viruses
|
Biosynthesis
synthesis of nucleic acid and proteins |
|
Step 5 in Multiplication of Animal Viruses
|
Maturation
Nucleic acid and capsid proteins assemble |
|
Step 6 in Multiplication of Animal Viruses
|
Release
By buddying (enveloped viruses) or Lysis (ruptures of cytoplasmic membrane) |
|
Penetration and Uncoating by Fusion
|
The spikes of the capsid attach to the cell membrane and fuse with the cell membrane.
|
|
Penetration and Uncoating by Endocytosis
|
The naked virus attachs to the cell membrane and is engulfed. Inside the vacuole it is called an endosome. The virus will lose its capsid and uncoat near the nuclear membrane while releasing info into the nucleas.
