    This study guide covers basic concepts in virology such as the definition of viruses as ultimate symbionts, whether viruses are considered alive, the structure of individual viral particles called virons, and the three basic shapes of viruses. It asks questions about the capsid, lipid envelope, bacteriophages, differences between naked and enveloped viruses, and how an envelope affects a virus's pathogenicity.

    Study Guide: Virology

    1. What is meant by “viruses are the ultimate symbionts?”


    2. Are viruses considered alive?
    3. What is required for viral replication (reproduction)?
    4. What is the structure of an individual viron?
    5. What is a capsid?
    6. What is a lipid envelope? How can this help increase the pathogenicity of viruses (may need to do some outside
    research for this question!)?
    7. What are the three basic shapes of viruses? What determines the shape of a virus?
    8. What is a bacteriophage?
    9. What is a lipid envelope? From where does it originate? What is the difference between naked and enveloped
    viruses?
    10. Are enveloped or non-enveloped viruses typically more pathogenic? In other words: does the viral envelop
    confer more or less pathogenicity to a virus? *This will require some external research/reading as it is not
    addressed in the lecture.
