Virus General Properties of Viruses Virus have both an extracellular and an intracellular state. a virus is a submicroscopic particle containing nucleic acid surrounded by protein and occasionally containing other macromolecular components In this extracellular state, the virus particle, also called the virion, is metabolically inert and does not carry out respiratory or biosynthetic functions. The virion is the structure by which the virus genome is carried from the cell in which it has been produced to another cell where the viral nucleic acid can be introduced. In the intracellular state virus replication occurs: the virus genome is produced, and the components that make up the virus coat are synthesized When a virus genome is introduced into a host cell and reproduces, the process is called infection

General Properties of viruses viruses differ from living cells in at least three ways: (1)their simple, acellular organization (2)the absence of both dna and rna in the same virion 3)their inability to reproduce independently of cells and carry out cell division as prokaryotes and eukaryotes do

Viruses can exist in two phases extracellular and intracellular Virion, the extracellular phase, posses few if any enzymes and can not reproduce independently of living cells. In the intracellular phase, viruses exist primarily as replicating nucleic acids that induce host metabolism to synthesize virion components; eventually complete virus particles or virions are released

Hosts and size Three main classes -animal viruses. bacterial viruses (bacteriophages), and plant viruses The particular host range of a virus is determined by the virus's requirements for its specific attachment to the host cell and the availability within the potential host of cellular factors required for viral multiplication Virus particles(virions) vary widely in size and shape. Viruses are smaller than cells, ranging in size from 0.02 to 0.3 um. A common unit of measure for viruses is the nanometer which is 1000 times smaller than 1 um and 1 million times smaller than 1 mm. Smallpox virus, one of the largest viruses, is about 200 nm in diameter(a bit smaller than the size of the smallest bacteria); poliovirus, one of the smallest, is only 28 nm in diameter (about the size of a ribosome)
