Virus Structure Lecture Materials

These are the lecture materials in the structure of viruses, from 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 Structure Lecture materials include:

  • a list of learning objectives
  • a PowerPoint lecture   
  • "class note"  articles
  • practice test questions
  • review questions
  • links to additional educational materials


VIRUS STRUCTURE LECTURE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are  a study guide based on the VMC Virus Structure Lecture PowerPoint:

  • Understand what viruses are and how they differ from living organisms.
  • Be able to describe the four types of genetic material that viruses can be made of.
  • Understand the difference between an enveloped and non-enveloped virus.
  • What are the three main structural elements that viruses can be made of. Which of these structural elements is not present in all viruses?
  • Describe the different shapes of viruses.


VIRUS STRUCTURE 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 STRUCTURE 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.


VIRUS STRUCTURE 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 Structure PowerPoint Lecture.


VIRUS STRUCTURE REVIEW QUESTIONS
Questions designed to help you review the material in the Virus Structure PowerPoint.
