Biology
1 answer:
Kryger [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The viral replication process begins when a virus infects its host by attaching to the host cell and penetrating the cell wall or membrane. Then the viral genome hijacks the host cell's machinery, forcing it to replicate the viral genome and produce viral proteins to make new capsids. In the past, viruses were considered nonliving infectious particles, little more than genetic material wrapped in a protein capsid. Today, virologists are beginning to think of viruses as living organisms that can be classified phylogenetically into defined species, much like any other living organism. The primary reasons for this shift in attitude can be partially attributed to the discovery of giant viruses, having large genomes and complex regulatory systems. Aside from that, it has become obvious that viruses lead complex lives; they evolve, speciate, and participate in the evolution of all classes of living organisms. In this chapter, we will discuss the early attempts to classify viruses, and review the biologic properties of the classes of virus that contain human pathogens.

Describe importance of proteins,carbohydrates and lipids as components of plasma membrane
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Plasma membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer. To be more exact  there is two fatty acids making up the polar hydrophilic head, and a phosphate group attached as the non-polar hydrophobic tail. Proteins have many uses in regards to the cell membrane. In a nutshell they are used for diffusion of molecules across the plasma membrane. They are different types of diffusion, most noteably you should try and know the different between passive and active transport the latter of which involves a protien pump. Carbohydrates are used for cushiing the cell membrane and for cell recognition.
