Bellwork: February 11Copy the question and the answer

Both euglena and cyanobacteria are photosynthetic unicellular organisms found in pond water. The feature that distinguishes euglena from cyanobacteria is the —

A ability to maintain homeostasisB presence of ribosomesC ability to reproduceD presence of a nuclear membrane

CO: I will describe viral reproduction.

LO:I will write notes and talk about the steps in viral reproduction. I

will build a virus.

Science Fact of the Day:Corneas are the only tissues that don't require

blood.

OVERVIEW

Quick Write:

• Are viruses alive?• Explain why or why not.

When a virus invades…

VIRUSA living thing that provides a source of energy for a virus or an organism

Organisms that live on or near a host and cause harm.

A tiny, nonliving structure that invades and then multiplies inside of a cell.

A virus that immediately goes into action. It begins to take over cell functions and produce the virus’s proteins and genetic material. These parts then assemble into new viruses. The viruses multiply like a copy machine left on. When it is full the cell bursts open – releases the new viruses and dies.

Some viruses hide for a while and become part of the cell’s genetic material. It may stay inactive and “hidden” for years. Then under certain conditions it becomes active and acts like an active virus. Ex – cold sores

Lytic Cycle•Active viruses enter cells and immediately begin to multiply, leading to the quick death of the invaded cells.•Steps to the lytic cycle:

1. Attach to cell2. Inject DNA/RNA

3. Produce (replicate) virus parts4. Assemble new virons

5. Release viruses to infect other cells

Lytic Cycle- Viruses

Lysogenic Cycle• Hidden viruses “hide” for a while inside host cells

before becoming active

Steps to the Lysogenic Cycle:1. Attach to cell2. Inject DNA/RNA3. Integrate DNA/RNA into cell4. Wait5. Remove DNA/RNA6. Become active (lytic cycle)

Lysogenic Cycle- Viruses

Rally Robin: Cycle Steps

• Get into partners—decide who is partner A and who is partner B.–Partner A: Describe the steps for the

Lytic cycle.–Partner B: Draw each step.

• After a few minutes, we will switch to the Lysogenic Cycle and you will switch roles.

Lytic Cycle Lysogenic Cycle

Could viruses be helpful?

- Since viruses can transport DNA and RNA into cells, scientists are exploring Gene Therapy

- In Gene Therapy, viral genetic material is replaced with new DNA

- In time, this could be used to cure geneticdiseases. Currently we have no cure for these types of illnesses

You decide…Lytic or Lysogenic
