Virus Life Cycle Lecture Materials
These
are the Virus Cycle of Infection Lecture materials of the Virtual Microbiology Classroom. The resources below are used to supplement an actual
college microbiology course. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in
biology may find these materials helpful and is welcome to use them.
The Virus Life Cycle Lecture materials include:
- a list of learning objectives
- a PowerPoint lecture
- "class note" articles
- practice test questions
- review questions
- links to additional educational resources
VIRUS LIFE CYCLE LECTURE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are a study guide based on the VMC Virus Cycle of Infection Lecture PowerPoint:
- Know the difference between the viral intracellular and extracellular states.
- Understand the different ways that viruses can get into and out of cells.
- Compare and contrast the entry and exit of bacteriophages with that of animal viruses.
- What is a bacteriophage?
- Explain what transduction is, and how it relates to bacteriophages and their host bacteria.
VIRUS LIFE CYCLE LECTURE POWERPOINT
All of the lecture PowerPoints used in the Virtual Microbiology Classroom have fill-in-the-blanks on many of the slides to encourage students to pay attention and follow along during the presentation. Instructors, contact us for the information that goes in the blanks.
HELPFUL TIPS: Some of the PowerPoint presentations are large files and may take a few moments to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection. If you are printing a hard copy of the PowerPoint, you can save paper by selecting Handouts (rather than Slides) in the "Print What:" drop down menu of the PPT print screen. Then you can choose the number of slides you want to have on each printed page. If the printed PPT presentation is to be used as student notes, it is best to choose handouts with 2 or 3 slides per page.
VIRUS LIFE CYCLE CLASS NOTES
Here are brief summaries of some of the various subtopics and concepts introduced in this lecture, kind of like really good class notes.

VIRAL LIFE CYCLE PRACTICE TEST QUESTIONS
Practice test questions designed to help you better understand the material from this lecture. They are based on information in the Virus Life Cycle PowerPoint Lecture.
VIRAL LIFE CYCLE REVIEW QUESTIONS
Questions designed to help you review the material in the Virus Life Cycle Lecture.
