Study Notes
COVID-19 Virus
- COVID-19 is caused by a virus
- The COVID-19 virus is an RNA virus
Virus Structure
- Viruses contain deoxyribose sugar in their nucleic acid structure.
- Viruses can have a double-stranded nucleic acid structure.
- Viruses do not contain uracil nucleotides in their structure.
- Viruses do contain thymine nucleotides in their structure.
Plasma Membrane
- Cholesterol makes the plasma membrane less deformable.
Cellular Processes
- Marathon runners should drink sports drinks with carbohydrates because they help make the drinks isotonic to the cells.
- Free floating ribosomes synthesize transcription factors.
- Peripheral proteins act as digestive enzymes in cell membranes.
- The Golgi apparatus modifies and secretes proteins, a defect in this organelle can lead to issues with protein secretion.
- Microfilaments play a vital role in muscle function, a defect in them can lead to muscular dystrophy.
- Cilia are responsible for sweeping airways, smoking can damage them.
Cellular Transport
