3RD QUARTER

Name: _______________________________________________ Score: _______

Direction: Identify what kind of text type is the following paragraph. Choose the letter of the
correct answer.

Researchers have used cryogenic electron microscopy to show that coronaviruses enter
human cells through an interaction with angiotensin- converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).
Scientists exploring how coronaviruses like COVID-19 infect human cells have shown that
the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein binds to the cell membrane protein angiotensin-converting
enzyme 2 (ACE2) to enter human cells. COVID-19 has been shown to bind to ACE2 via the S
protein on its surface. During infection, the S protein is cleaved into subunits, S1 and S2. S1
contains the receptor binding domain (RBD) which allows coronaviruses to directly bind to the
peptidase domain (PD) of ACE2. S2 then likely plays a role in membrane fusion.
