    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.
