The spike proteins of coronaviruses aid in avolding the immune response better than other viruses because They protrude from the virion more than most viruses and prevent lymphocytes from recognizing all of the epitopes They are smaller than those on most other viruses They are embedded in the viral envelope They produce immunosuppresants QUESTION 2 ExtraCorporeal Membranous Oxygenation is a way to aleviate stress on the lungs by performing gas exchange in the blood outside of the body. True False QUESTION 3 SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 are similar in that they both target the ACE2 receptor. True False Coronavirus genomes are classifed as +sSRNA-RT-ssRNA+ssRNAdsDNA QUESTION 5 Coronaviruses undero mutation more rapidly than most RNA viruses (aside from Influenza and HIV) because their genome The spike proteins are large Is a single RNA molecule that is separated into smaller pieces It is an enveloped virus They convert RNA into DNA QUESTION 6 The biggest concern with new variants is We don't know if the next variant will be more/less virulent or transmissible We don't know if the next variant will respond to our current antivirals and therapies We don't know if the new variant will mutate enough for the current vaccines to still be effective All of the above Unlike most viruses, SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 can infect multiple tissues because The spikes bind to sialic acid which is found only in respiratory cells. All symptoms of viral infections are immunogenic. The spikes bind to ACE2 receptors that are found on multiple tissues/organs. It only infects the respiratory tract and does not reproduce/infect other organs. QUESTION 8 All of the major pathogens in the Coronaviridae Family are found within what Genus? Delta-Coronaviruses Alpha-Coronaviruses Gamma-Coronaviruses Beta-Coronaviruses QUESTION 9 MERS-CoV has had multiple cases in the United States. True False Most cases of COVID-18, including severe cases and deaths, are now almost completely in the unvaccinated population True False QUESTION 11 mRNA vaccines such as the ones made by Plizer and Modema use a virus to deliver the mRNA to host cells. True False QUESTION 12 Tho first Beta-Coronavirus outbreak ever seen in humans occured in and laid the groundwork for the current vaccines. \begin{tabular}{|} \hline 2019 \\ \hline 2002 \\ \hline 2012 \\ \hline 2021 \\ \hline \end{tabular} QUESTION 13 Therpies such as Hydroxychloroquine, Vetamin supplements, and Ivermectin were never tested as possible COVID-19 therapies. True False There have been NO serious complications reported from the mRNA vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna. True False QUESTION 15 We know the exact mechanism of action of each of the current antiviral therapies against COVID-19? True False QUESTION 16 RAAS is involved in primarliy regulating what homeostatic function? Temperature Blood Pressure Inflammation pH Roughly how many coronaviruses have been identified? 101000100 3 QUESTION 18 The most common animal reservoir for coronavirus.
