Viruses are small strands of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coat that can only reproduce inside living cells. They come in various shapes and sizes and are too small to see without a microscope. Viruses demonstrate the single characteristic of life which is reproduction. They enter cells, inject their DNA, use the cell to replicate themselves then burst out to infect more cells. Viruses can lie dormant for years before activating. Vaccines work by introducing weakened virus particles to trigger antibody production to fight future infection. While there are no medicines to directly kill viruses, the body produces interferons and gene therapy works to replace infected DNA and allow cells to function normally again.

Quiz in health (Stages of infection)
I made this quiz to help enhance your knowledge and also my knowledge, hence I could be a doctor someday :D. That's a joke, I want to be a scientist some day not a doctor, but I am learning these things because it is one of the requirements for being a SCIENTIST!
Viruses notes
Viruses are microscopic particles that infect cells and use their cellular machinery to replicate. They are not considered living organisms as they cannot carry out basic functions like eating, growing, or responding to their environments independently. Viruses come in different shapes including spherical, cylindrical, and complex geometries. They contain either DNA or RNA genetic material surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses infect specific types of hosts like plants, animals, or bacteria and use one of two cycles to replicate - lytic where new viruses are immediately produced or lysogenic where viral genes lie dormant before initiating replication. While antibiotics are ineffective against viruses, vaccinations and antiviral drugs can help prevent and treat viral infections.
Vaccines and health
This document discusses viruses and their effects on human health. It provides information on viruses like Ebola, bubonic plague, and HIV. It then discusses vaccines, how they work to produce immunity, and how they can prevent disease outbreaks. The document also lists both harmful and beneficial effects of viruses. It gives tips for avoiding viruses and provides a case study on vaccines and Jenner's development of the smallpox vaccine.
Isolation of Animal Viruses
This document summarizes methods for isolating, cultivating, and identifying animal viruses. It discusses three main methods: (1) in living animals by injecting viral preparations and observing immune responses, (2) in embryonated eggs by inoculating viral suspensions and observing embryo death or defects, and (3) using cell culture by growing isolated cells and detecting cytopathic effect through plaque assays or microscopy. Identification methods discussed include PCR, RFLP, Western blot, and ELISA.
Presentation virus
1. The document discusses the history and classification of viruses. Viruses were first observed in 1883 by Dmitri Ivanovsky who discovered virus-like organisms in tobacco plants while studying disease spots using an electron microscope.
2. Viruses can be classified as either living or non-living. They are considered living because they can reproduce, but non-living because they lack a cell structure and can be crystallized.
3. Examples are given of viruses that cause diseases in humans like measles, AIDS, dengue fever, and influenza. The symptoms and transmission methods of each virus are briefly described.
Viruses
This document provides an overview of viruses and viral diseases. It defines viruses as strands of DNA or RNA surrounded by protein that can only replicate inside host cells. Viruses are not considered alive since they lack characteristics of living things, like the ability to reproduce outside a host. The document describes how viruses cause diseases by destroying host cells during replication and release of new virus particles. It also discusses methods to treat and prevent viral diseases, including antiviral drugs and vaccines which trigger antibody production to develop immunity. The document concludes by noting scientists research viruses to develop new disease treatments and explore virus links to cancer.

Viruses ppt
Viruses are microscopic particles that can only reproduce inside living cells. They contain genetic material inside a protein coat and come in various shapes. Viruses use the machinery of host cells to produce more viruses rather than healthy new cells. They are classified based on shape, genetic material, and the type of disease or organism they affect. Viruses can either enter a lytic cycle where they immediately destroy the host cell to release new viruses, or a lysogenic cycle where their genes remain inactive until triggering further infection. Antibiotics do not work on viruses, so prevention through vaccination is important.

Viruses are microscopic particles that can only reproduce inside living cells. They contain genetic material inside a protein coat and come in various shapes. Viruses use the machinery of host cells to produce more viruses rather than healthy new cells. They are classified based on shape, genetic material, and the type of disease or organism they affect. Viruses can either enter a lytic cycle where they immediately destroy the host cell to release new viruses, or a lysogenic cycle where their genes remain inactive until triggering further infection. Antibiotics do not work on viruses, so prevention through vaccination is important.
The immune system & viral specificity
The document discusses the immune system's response to pathogens like viruses. It explains that the immune system has both non-specific innate responses that provide immediate defense against infection, as well as specific acquired responses that develop over time and provide long-lasting immunity. The non-specific response involves barriers like skin and mucous membranes, while the specific response produces antibodies that target unique antigens on pathogens through B cells and T cells. Viruses are also able to specifically infect certain host species or cell types through receptor binding of viral antigens. Examples of several viral diseases and their characteristics are also outlined.
Virus
Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and infect host cells by attaching to receptors on their surface. They take over the cell's machinery to replicate their nucleic acid and proteins, eventually causing the cell to burst and release new virus particles. There are two main life cycles viruses follow - the lytic cycle where the virus immediately replicates and bursts the cell, and the lysogenic cycle where the viral DNA incorporates into the host DNA and lays dormant until conditions change and switches to the lytic cycle. A virus relies entirely on host cells for replication and spreads by exiting infected cells and finding new host cells to infect.
Bacterial & Viral Reproduction
Viruses multiply by entering a host cell and forcing it to produce more viruses. There are two ways viruses can multiply - actively, where the host cell is destroyed as it produces new viruses, or latently, where the viral DNA incorporates into the host cell's DNA and is copied as the cell divides without immediately destroying the cell. Vaccines work by introducing a weakened form of the virus to stimulate an immune response and prevent disease from the full virus.
Bacteria & viruses
Viruses and bacteria are studied in biology class. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that have DNA, ribosomes, and cell walls, while viruses consist of genetic material inside a protein coat but cannot reproduce without infecting a host cell. The document discusses the structures and characteristics of bacteria and viruses, how some can cause diseases like strep throat, tuberculosis, and the common cold, and how antibiotics, antivirals, and vaccines can help treat and prevent infectious diseases.
Viruses
Viruses are non-living particles that can only reproduce inside living cells. They come in various shapes and sizes, with diameters ranging from 20-200 nanometers. Viruses are classified as parasites because they destroy the host cell during reproduction. They have either a protein coat containing genetic material or a protein coat surrounding an inner core and genetic material. Viruses attach and enter host cells using unique proteins that match receptors on certain host cell types. Once inside, the virus takes over the cell's functions to produce more viral proteins and genetic material, filling the cell until it bursts and releases new viruses. Some viruses remain dormant inside the host cell's DNA until certain triggers cause them to become active again.

Microorganisms
Viruses are very small pathogens that can only reproduce inside host cells. They have either DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses cause many common diseases but cannot be treated with antibiotics since they are not technically living things. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that have cell membranes and walls but no nucleus. While some bacteria are helpful, others can cause diseases and are treated with antibiotics. Fungi form their own kingdom and come in both single and multi-celled forms. They feed by secreting enzymes and absorbing nutrients and act as decomposers by breaking down dead material.
Virology lecture #1 - What is a virus?
This document provides information about the Biology W3310 Virology course at Columbia University. It lists the professors (Vincent Racaniello and Saul Silverstein) and teaching assistant (Esther Francisco) along with their contact information. It provides links to the course website, textbook, and virology blogs. It also states that the course materials can be accessed on Courseworks or the microbiology department website.
Virus and bacteria
Viruses and bacteria are both infectious agents, but they differ in key ways. Viruses are not cells and can only replicate inside host cells, while bacteria are unicellular organisms. Common ways viruses spread include through blood-sucking insects, coughing/sneezing, fecal-oral transmission, sexual contact, and exposure to infected blood. The immune system fights viral infections to eliminate the virus. Bacteria exist in nearly every habitat and environment, and while most bacteria in our bodies are harmless, some species can cause infectious diseases in humans. Bacteria also have important industrial uses like sewage treatment and antibiotic production.
Virus and bacteria
This document discusses viruses and bacteria. It defines bacteria as unicellular prokaryotes that lack organelles like a nucleus. Viruses are described as non-living particles that need a host to reproduce and are smaller than bacteria. The document lists some common human viruses including hepatitis A, influenza, herpes, and HIV. It explains that antibiotics only work on bacteria, not viruses, and how the immune system develops immunity through memory cells, helper T cells, and killer T cells to fight diseases. Vaccination is highlighted as the best way to build immunity against viruses.
Microbiology UNIT 4: Viruses
This document provides an overview of viruses and other acellular microbes. It begins by defining viruses as acellular microbes that rely on host cells for replication. Viruses are classified based on their nucleic acids, shape, size, and type of disease caused. The document then examines the structure of viruses and how bacteria viruses and animal viruses replicate through lytic and lysogenic cycles or budding. It also discusses latent virus infections, treatment of viral diseases, oncogenic viruses, HIV, and unusual viruses like Mimivirus. The document concludes with brief discussions of viroids, prions, and plant viruses.

viruses
Viruses are non-living particles that can only reproduce inside host cells. They are smaller than bacteria and contain genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. Viruses infect specific hosts like bacteria, plants, and animals, and can cause diseases in these hosts by hijacking the host cell's machinery to produce more viruses. While some viruses are harmful, not all viruses cause disease. Viruses come in different shapes and sizes and use host cells to replicate their genetic material and protein coats to produce new virus particles.
Bacteria and Viruses
Bacteria are microscopic prokaryotes that are generally spherical, rod-shaped, or spiral. They have cytoplasm and DNA surrounded by a cell membrane and cell wall. While most bacteria do not cause disease, some are pathogens that can damage tissue or release toxins. Viruses are strands of DNA or RNA surrounded by protein that can only replicate inside a host cell. Unlike bacteria, viruses are not considered living and require a host cell to reproduce. Both bacteria and viruses can cause disease in humans, but bacteria can reproduce on their own while viruses rely on host cells.
Viruses
Viruses are pathogens that can only reproduce inside host cells. They hijack host cell machinery to produce more viruses, which are then released to infect more cells. Viruses come in many forms, including those that cause common colds and flu, as well as more serious diseases like HIV/AIDS. Vaccines work by exposing the immune system to a weakened or killed form of the virus to develop immunity against future natural infections.
Micro organism and diseases
Micro-organisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi are tiny organisms that can cause disease in humans. There are both harmful and useful microbes. Harmful microbes spread diseases through contact with infected individuals or animals. Our immune system protects us from disease by producing antibodies to fight off invading pathogens. Vaccines work by exposing our immune system to weakened forms of viruses and bacteria, allowing it to develop immunity without causing sickness. When many people are vaccinated, it provides herd immunity to protect those who cannot receive vaccines. Proper hygiene and vaccination are important for preventing the spread of disease.

Chapter 5 section 3 notes (advances is genetics)
This document discusses advances in genetics, including genetic engineering, gene therapy, genetically engineered plants, and selective breeding. Genetic engineering involves changing DNA arrangements to alter genes. Gene therapy places a normal gene into a virus to replace defective genes in target cells. More than 2,000 people have participated in gene therapy experiments. Genetically engineered plants are created by inserting genes from one plant into another, allowing traits to transfer between different plant types. Selective breeding has been used for thousands of years to encourage desired traits, while genetic engineering allows direct introduction of traits between different organisms.
Life science chapter 6 section 1 notes
This document discusses ideas about evolution, including early models proposed by Jean Baptiste de Lamarck and Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. Darwin observed variations among species on the Galapagos Islands that he believed arose through natural selection. His theory proposed that organisms produce more offspring than can survive, variations occur, beneficial variations are passed on, and over generations new species can evolve. The document also discusses gradualism and punctuated equilibrium as models of the speed of evolution, and gives examples of antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
Chapter 6 section 2 (clues about evolution)
This document summarizes clues that provide evidence for evolution from the fossil record and comparisons between living things. It discusses how fossils are formed and dated, either relatively based on rock layers or radiometrically using radioactive elements. The fossil record shows that simpler life forms existed earlier and more complex forms appeared later, and sometimes fossils can reveal aspects of ancient organisms' environments and behaviors. Additional evidence comes from homologous and vestigial structures, embryology, and DNA comparisons that indicate evolutionary relationships between species.
U10 Minerals
The document discusses minerals, including their definition, composition, classification, properties, formation, extraction, and uses. It provides information on how minerals are classified as silicates or non-silicates depending on their chemical composition. The formation of minerals requires specific components, heat, pressure, and time. Minerals are extracted through underground mining or surface mining and are used for many applications such as construction materials, ceramics, jewelry, and more.
Cells Powerpoint Presentation
The document provides an overview of cells, including their history, structures, and differences between plant and animal cells. It explains that cells are the basic unit of life, first observed by Robert Hooke in 1660 when he looked at bark through a microscope and saw small compartments that he named "cells." The presentation then details the structures found in typical animal cells like the cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, and Golgi bodies. It concludes by noting additional structures like the cell wall, chloroplasts, and chlorophyll that are present in plant cells but not animal cells.

Chapter 2 section 3 (viruses) 2011
Viruses are strands of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coat that can only reproduce inside living cells. They do not have cell structures like a nucleus or organelles. Viruses enter cells by attaching and injecting their DNA, which then hijacks the cell to produce more viruses. Viruses can lie dormant for years before activating. While there are no medicines that can directly kill viruses, vaccines introduce weakened virus particles to trigger antibody production to fight future infection, and interferons help protect uninfected cells. Gene therapy also shows promise by replacing infected cell DNA with healthy DNA.
Viruses
Viruses are non-living particles that contain genetic material surrounded by a protein coating. They cannot replicate without infecting a living host cell. There are two types of viral infections - active infections immediately produce new viruses and destroy the host cell, while latent infections incorporate viral DNA into the host cell's DNA without immediate damage. Viruses spread through the air or contact and only infect specific cell types. While antibiotics do not affect viruses, vaccines provide immunity by exposing the body to weakened viral particles. Researchers also study viruses to develop gene therapy and antiviral drugs.
Virus science ii_bimester
Viruses are non-living particles that enter and reproduce inside living cells. They act as parasites and cannot grow or produce energy on their own. Viruses have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material surrounded by a protein coat and sometimes a membrane envelope with surface proteins. These surface proteins help viruses invade host cells. While viruses can cause disease, they can also be used to treat and prevent illnesses through vaccines where a weakened form of the virus is introduced to the body to produce antibodies without causing disease.

Virus
This document discusses microbes, pathogens, viruses, and viral diseases. It begins by defining microbes and pathogens, noting that microbiology studies microorganisms responsible for common diseases. It then describes viruses, explaining that they are non-living particles that invade and reproduce inside living cells using the cell's genetic material and processes. The document outlines the basic parts of viruses and how they hijack cells, causing the cell to explode and release new virus copies to infect other cells. It notes that viruses cannot live without a host cell and do not have the characteristics of living things. In the end, it lists some common viral diseases caused by cell damage or death.
Presentation (1).pptx
Viruses are pathogens that cause disease in animals and plants. They are infectious agents too small to be seen with a light microscope. Viruses are not living cells and cannot replicate independently - they need a host cell to reproduce. Examples of viruses include influenza, polio, and dengue fever. The branch of science that studies viruses is called virology. Viruses have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material and range in size from 20-250nm. They are obligate intracellular parasites that rely on host cells for reproduction and can cause disease in the host.
Virus powerpoint
Viruses exist in a boundary between living and non-living things. They cannot reproduce without infecting a host cell and using the cell's machinery. Viruses consist of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat, and sometimes an envelope. They infect all types of life from animals and plants to bacteria. While viruses disrupt hosts and cause disease, they also play important roles in evolution by transferring genes between organisms.
Viruses-and-other organisms-WPS-Office.pptx
Viruses come in a wide range of sizes but are generally quite small, ranging from 10-300 nm in diameter. They have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material and are unable to replicate without hijacking the cellular machinery of a host cell. Viruses can infect all manner of organisms, including humans, animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. Some viruses are known to cause specific types of cancer in their hosts.
Moneran Kingdom
Monerans are single-celled organisms that exist anywhere life can be found and can survive in extreme temperatures and pressures. They lack nuclei but some have flagella for movement. Bacteria are a type of moneran that feed on dead or decaying matter and living things, and are classified by shape. Blue-green bacteria contain chlorophyll and can produce their own food through photosynthesis. Monerans reproduce through binary fission under ideal conditions every 20 minutes. Viruses are tiny fragments of genetic material wrapped in a protein capsule that reproduce by taking over host cells and forcing them to produce more viruses until the host cell bursts. Communicable diseases spread via direct or indirect contact when bacteria or viruses enter the body and cause
Virus
Viruses are non-living particles that can only reproduce inside host cells. They are much smaller than bacteria and come in various shapes. Viruses cause diseases like smallpox, influenza, and AIDS. They enter cells and use the cell's machinery to replicate themselves before destroying the cell. While viruses cannot live outside of a host, they have developed ways to spread between hosts, such as through respiratory droplets or animal vectors. The best ways to prevent viral spread are vaccination, good hygiene like handwashing, and avoiding contact with infected bodily fluids.
06 germs
This document discusses germs, diseases, and how our body fights infection. It begins by explaining that germs are small living creatures that can cause harm if they enter our body. There are different types of germs like bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Germs spread through various means such as contact, airborne transmission, contaminated food or water, insect bites, and sexual contact. When germs enter the body it is called an infection. An infection may or may not lead to disease, depending on factors like the type of germ and strength of the person's immune system. The body responds to infection through inflammation - the five signs being pain, swelling, redness, heat, and loss of movement. Medicines
infectious agents
This document discusses the four main classes of infectious agents: bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. It provides details about each type, including their characteristics, examples of diseases they cause, and how they are transmitted. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can spread through various fluids or surfaces. Fungi are multi-cellular organisms like yeast and mushrooms that typically cause skin or lung infections. Viruses are the smallest and can only replicate inside host cells, spreading through various fluids, aerosols, or vectors. Parasites live in or on another organism and reproduce at their host's expense, with examples including roundworms, protozoa, tapeworms and flukes.
Viruses, bacteria, protists and fungi
This document provides information about microorganisms including viruses, bacteria, and fungi. It discusses their characteristics such as size, shape, whether they are cellular or acellular, and how they can exist as single-celled organisms or in colonies. The document also examines different types of microorganisms and how viruses specifically infect host cells and reproduce. Key details are provided about the structure and life cycles of viruses and bacteria, as well as how pathogenic microorganisms can cause disease in humans.

8.6_VIRAL DISEASE AN APPROACH.pptx
Viruses are very small infectious agents that can only replicate inside host cells. They contain genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. There are many types of viral infections that affect different body systems like the respiratory, gastrointestinal, liver, nervous and skin. Respiratory viruses commonly cause infections like influenza and COVID-19. Some viruses are also associated with certain cancers through their ability to insert their genetic material into host cells. Proper hygiene practices, vaccination and antiviral treatment can help prevent and treat viral infections.
Fighting Disease Final
The document is a student's answers to questions about diseases and the immune system. It discusses what diseases are, how they spread, features of viruses and bacteria, diseases they cause, how the body protects against pathogens, and differences between natural and artificial immunity. The student answers 20 multiple-choice and short-answer questions about these topics, scoring 9 out of 10 overall with one mistake.
Chapter 20 notes
Bacteria and viruses are found everywhere on Earth. Bacteria are prokaryotic cells that can be rod-shaped, spiral-shaped, or circular. They reproduce through binary fission or conjugation. Viruses are non-living particles that contain DNA or RNA and reproduce by taking over host cells and forcing them to make more viruses. Bacteria and viruses cause many diseases in humans, but bacteria can also be beneficial as decomposers and in food processing, while vaccines can prevent viral infections.

Materials and a step-by-step procedure are outlined to guide someone conducting the experiment. Data collection and conclusion sections are included to record results and determine if the initial hypothesis was correct or incorrect based on findings.
Chapter 5 section 2 notes
This document provides an overview of genetics concepts including:
1) Incomplete dominance results in an intermediate phenotype between the two homozygous parents, like pink flowers from red and white flowered parents.
2) Multiple alleles exist for some traits like blood type, which has four phenotypes (A, B, AB, and O) determined by three alleles.
3) Polygenic traits are influenced by multiple gene pairs acting together, producing more variety in phenotypes like hair and eye color.
4) Sex determination is based on XX females and XY males, with males determining offspring sex by contributing either an X or Y chromosome.
Do not copy (Chapter 5 Section 1: Supplemental Notes)
The document discusses heredity and genetics. It explains that genes on chromosomes control traits that are passed from parents to offspring. These genes have different forms called alleles. The study of how traits are inherited is genetics. The section then discusses Gregor Mendel's contributions as the father of genetics, including his use of mathematics and experiments with pea plants to understand dominant and recessive alleles and heredity over generations. It also defines key genetics terms like genotype, phenotype, homozygous, and heterozygous.
Chapter 5 Section 1 Notes (2016)
1) Gregor Mendel conducted the first recorded scientific study of heredity by breeding pea plants in the 1850s. He discovered that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units that we now call genes.
2) In his experiments, Mendel crossed purebred pea plants that differed in one trait, such as stem height. The offspring all exhibited the dominant trait, but when he allowed those offspring to self-pollinate, some exhibited the recessive trait that had been hidden in the previous generation.
3) Mendel's discoveries formed the foundation of genetics and showed that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units that we now call genes. His work with dominant and recess
Chapter 5 Vocabulary Terms (Genetics)
This document is a two-page vocabulary worksheet for students to define key terms related to genetics and heredity. It includes 18 terms across genetics, inheritance patterns, genetic traits, and tools used to study genetics such as Punnett squares. The terms range from basic concepts like genetics, heredity, genotype and phenotype to more complex ideas such as incomplete dominance, polygenic inheritance, sex-linked genes and genetic engineering.
Chapter 4 section 3 (dna)
DNA contains the genetic code for all living organisms. It is made up of two strands coiled around each other. Four nitrogen bases - adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine - form rungs between the strands. Watson and Crick discovered that adenine always pairs with thymine and guanine always pairs with cytosine. Genes, sections of DNA, provide instructions for making proteins. RNA carries copies of these instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein production. Mutations in genes can cause changes to proteins that may be harmful, harmless, or even beneficial to organisms.
Chapter 4 section 2 notes
Sexual reproduction involves the combination of sex cells from two parents to form a new organism. Meiosis is the process that produces sex cells, which contain half the number of chromosomes found in regular body cells. Meiosis involves two nuclear divisions, resulting in four haploid cells being produced from one original diploid cell. Fertilization then occurs when a haploid egg and sperm cell combine, forming a diploid zygote with the full chromosome number of the species. Mistakes during meiosis can result in sex cells with abnormal chromosome numbers, sometimes causing health issues or death.
Chapter 4 vocabulary terms (student)
This document contains a list of 15 vocabulary terms related to biology including: asexual reproduction, chromosome, diploid, DNA, egg, fertilization, gene, haploid, meiosis, mitosis, mutation, RNA, sexual reproduction, sperm, and zygote. The terms are part of a chapter 4 vocabulary list for a 7th grade general science class.
Chapter 4 section 1 (cell divsion and mitosis)
This document provides an overview of the cell cycle and cell division. It begins with an introduction to the cell cycle, which consists of interphase followed by mitosis and cytokinesis. Interphase includes the G1, S, and G2 phases where the cell grows and duplicates its DNA. During mitosis, which has four phases (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase), the cell nucleus divides to form two identical nuclei. Cytokinesis then divides the cytoplasm, producing two daughter cells. The document also discusses asexual reproduction, where mitosis produces genetically identical cells, and various asexual reproduction methods like budding and regeneration in different organisms.

Chapter 3 section 3 notes
1. Metabolism is the total of all chemical reactions in an organism and involves enzymes to break down or build molecules. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are key metabolic pathways.
2. Photosynthesis uses chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce glucose in producers like plants. Respiration breaks down glucose and other foods to release energy in all organisms.
3. Photosynthesis produces excess glucose that is stored as starches or other carbohydrates, which are then consumed as food by animals and used for cellular respiration which releases energy and produces carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis and respiration are thus directly linked.

Guidelines are provided for handling microscopy specimens, focusing with different objective lenses, and creating wet mount slides. The key points are how to calculate magnification, identify microscope parts, and follow proper procedures for focusing and specimen preparation.
Chapter 3 section 2 notes (moving cellular material)
This document discusses how cells transport materials across their selectively permeable membranes. It describes three main types of transport: passive transport which includes diffusion and osmosis and moves substances down concentration gradients without energy; facilitated diffusion which uses transport proteins to move larger molecules; and active transport which moves substances against concentration gradients using energy from ATP with the help of transport proteins. Endocytosis and exocytosis are also covered as forms of active transport where large particles enter or leave cells through membrane invagination and budding.
Introduction to stem cell notes
Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can renew themselves and differentiate into specialized cell types. There are two main types: pluripotent stem cells like embryonic stem cells which can become any cell type, and adult or multipotent stem cells which can only become certain related cell types. Stem cells have properties of self-renewal and differentiation that make them useful for research, drug development, and cell therapies.
Chapter 3 vocabulary terms
This document lists 15 key vocabulary terms from Chapter 3 of a 7th grade science textbook, including types of transport like active transport, diffusion, endocytosis, exocytosis, and osmosis. It also includes terms related to chemical processes in living things like metabolism, photosynthesis, respiration, enzymes, and organic and inorganic compounds.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Viruses can only reproduce when they are inside of a living cell; if they are outside a cell they do NOTHING. 6. A virus can be frozen for years then thaw out and have the ability to reproduce once inside a living cell!!! 7. Viruses are specific for certain cell types. a. Example: AIDS attacks blood and sex cells; Chicken Pox attacks skin cells, colds attack the respiratory system.
- 4. 8. Viruses can attack ANY living thing; animals, plants, fungi, protists and even bacteria!!! 9. Most viruses attack a specific cell type of a specific organism. a. Example: Tobacco virus attacks only certain cells on the tobacco plant. 10. Some viruses can attack more than one organism. a. Rabies can attack most warm blooded animals.
- 5. Parts of a virus a. Head (Capsule) b. Tail c. End Plate d. Tail Fibers
- 6. Adenovirus and Flu Virus
- 7. B. How a Virus Enters a Cell 1. Virus must find and identify the correct type of cell. a. Viruses and cells fit like a puzzle; or like a lock and key. 2. Once the virus has found the right type of cell it attaches to the outside of that cell. 3. The virus injects its DNA inside the cell. 4. The virus DNA kills everything inside the cell. 5. The virus DNA then duplicates (makes baby viruses) inside the cell. 6. Once the viruses are mature enough they break out of the cell. 7. The new viruses then move on to attack more of the specific cell type.
- 9. C. Types of Viruses 1. Viruses must be inside of a living cell in order to reproduce; these cells are called HOST CELLS. 2. Active Viruses a. If a virus is active it will immediately start the cycle of making new viruses. b. Active viruses make you sick pretty quickly. c. Examples: Colds, Flus, Chicken Pox.
- 10. 3. Latent Viruses a. Once inside the cell the DNA rests for a period of time before it starts to reproduce. b. These viruses can be latent for YEARS, then for some reason they activate and start reproducing. c. Some Latent Viruses never stop once they start reproducing while others may go back to a dormant or latent state. d. Examples: HIV, Cold Sores, Herpes, Warts.
- 11. 4. Bacteriophages a. Viruses that attack bacteria. b. Very fast reproducing viruses; can reproduce every 20 minutes.
- 12. D. What is a Vaccine 1. Vaccine: a shot made from weakened virus particles that can’t cause disease anymore. 2. Once introduced to your body they trick your body into making antibodies to destroy the disease in the future. 3. Examples of viral disease that we have vaccines: a. Chicken Pox, Measles, Mumps, Rabies, Polio 4. Edward Jenner created the first vaccine in 1796. a. Created a vaccine for a disease called smallpox which is now almost completely extinct from Earth.
- 13. E. How Do We fight Viruses? 1. There is no medicine that we can use to kill a virus. 2. Your body can fight some viruses by making interferons. a. Interferons are proteins that protect the non-infected cells. b. This is how you body destroys viruses that are inside of your cells. 3. However there are some viral diseases that your body will never make interferons against such as HIV. (HIV is the virus, AIDS is the disease caused by the virus).
- 14. 4. Gene Therapy is an advanced used today to help destroy viruses. a. Gene therapy is a process that takes the bad DNA out of an infected cell and replaces it with good DNA. b. Gene therapy helps the cell behave the way it did before the infection. c. This therapy is showing promise in the race against viral diseases, some cancers, and genetic disorders. d. Gene Therapy is not completely successful today, however we continue to study this practice to help destroy viruses.
