5.1 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
(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 differ from living cells in at least three ways: 5.1 General Properties of Viruses
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 I 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)

Si oze Viruses vary considerably in size. Although most are quite a bit smaller than bacteria, some of the larger viruses(such as the smallpox virus) are about the same size as some very small bacteria(such as the mycoplasmas, rickettsia, and chlamydia) Viruses range from 20 to 300 nm in diameter

Genome in virion RNA RNA一DN Viruses viruses vIruses SS DNA ds dNA SS RNA ds Rna SS RNA ds rna (Retroviruses Hepadnaviruses) Viral genomes. The genomes of viruses can be composed of either DNa or rna, and some use both as their genomic material at different stages in their life cycle However, only one type of nucleic acid is found in the virion of any particular type of virus. This can be single stranded(ss), double-stranded(ds), or in the case of the hepadnaviruses, partially double-stranded

Structure of viruses Most viruses are too small to be seen under light microscope. All viruses consists of an RNA or DNA core genome surrounded by a protein coat capsid. The combined viral genome and capsid is called the nucleocapsid capsid Envelope Consid Card Naked virus Enveloped vrus
