Virus Life Cycle Lecture Materials

These are Virus Cycle of Infection Lecture materials from the free science eduction website Science Prof Online. The resources below are used to supplement actual college biology courses. 

SPO VIRTUAL CLASSROOMS
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are  a study guide based on the VMC Virus Life Cycle Lecture PowerPoint Show:

  •  Know the difference between the viral intracellular and extracellular states.
  •  Understand the different ways that viruses can get into and out of cells.
  •  Compare and contrast the entry and exit of bacteriophages with that of animal viruses.
  • Explain what transduction is, and how it relates to bacteriophages and their host bacteria.


LECTURE POWERPOINT

Printing: The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet". Under Pages Per Sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.


VIRUS LIFE CYCLE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT
Students describe what is happening at each stage of the lytic and lysogenic cycle of a bacteriophage virus. 


The Virus Life Cycle Lecture materials include:
  • list of learning objectives
  • PowerPoint lecture   
  • homework assignment
  • practice test & review questions
  • more virus educational materials
