Question
Displayed is a model of the Ebola virus.
The Ebola virus is an enveloped virus, which means that it ________.
is sealed within cells
is enclosed within a protein shell
is contained within a phospholipid bilayer
envelopes targeted cells
The genetic material of the Ebola virus is __________
RNA
DNA
protein
In this representation, letter A represents ________.
the matrix
RNA polymerase
DNA polymerase
spikes/glycoprotein
the capsid
The component that most directly interacts with the envelope and provides structure to the virus is ________,
the matrix
RNA polymerase
spikes/glycoprotein
DNA polymerase
the capsid
which is labeled ________ in this illustration.
Which of the labeled components is heavily glycosylated and makes a host immune response particularly difficult?
C A E D BExplanation / Answer
Ans 1 b. Is enclosed within a protein shell
Ebola virus has a outer viral envelope which is derived by budding from domains of host cell membrane into which the glycoprotein spikes are inserted.
Ans 2. A. RNA
It carries a negative sense RNA genome which are cylindrical or tubular.
