In the following quiz on the scientific study of microbiology, the practice by which we analyze and record the findings on the many microscopic organisms of the world, we’ll be turning our attention away from the usual main character in this study, biology, and looking more closely at viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Think you know enough about these three suspects? Let’s take a look and see!
Capsid
Envelope
Vector
RNA
Bachillus anthracis
Haemophilus influenzae
Chlamydia trachomatis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
True
False
Release of viral progeny
DNA breakdown
Translation of proteins
MRNA synthesis
Viron attaches to the host cell surface and the envelope is engulfed
Naked viron inject nucleic acid into the host cell
Viron attaches to host cell receptor and fuses with membrane
Nucleocapsids assoicate with membrane and bud through
