2 Fig. 1.1 shows the structure of an isolated virus.

(a) (i) Name A to D. [2]

A – capsomere ;
B - nucleic acid / DNA / RNA ;
C - envelope / lipid bilayer ;
D – capsid ;
(ii) Calculate the magnification of Fig 1.1. Show your working. [2]
50/500 x 10 -6 / 50 x 106 /500 ;
1 x 105 / 100000 ;
(b) State two characteristics that are used to distinguish viruses from prokaryotae and fungi. [2]
size ;
can not reproduce outside host cell ;
lack cellular organelles / structures / named example ; A no cell organisation
AVP. ;
(c) Describe precisely how viruses multiply in the human body. [3]
viral, RNA / genetic material, enters cell ;
viral genetic material replicated ;
viral protein synthesised ;
new viruses assembled ;
cell bursts / lysis / bud;
more virus released to infect / invade other cells;
AVP ; for further detail
