Biology Assessment: Influenza Structure: Viruses are non-cellular obligate intracellular parasites‚ requiring a living host cell in order to reproduce. A developed viral particle (virion) lacks the metabolic machinery of cells‚ containing just a single type of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat or capsid. Viruses can be distinguished by their structure and by the nature of their genetic material (single or double stranded DNA or RNA). Viruses that affect humans are more difficult

I want to have a well-developed plan so once I am a senior‚ I have an idea of what I want to do for a living and where I want to head in my life.

Sociologists study how people behave and interact in different social groups and situations (“Sociologists” 565) whereas epidemiologists study diseases

Influenza viruses are constantly changing. This is why they emphasize getting your yearly flu shot. An interesting feature of the influenza virion is its tendency to “drift and shift” ("How the Flu Virus Can Change: “Drift” and “Shift”." Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.). Pathologists coined this phrase when they discovered an antigenic drift in the DNA of an influenza strain. These changes are usually not big enough to affect our immune system’s ability to identify a certain strain. Over

The Search for better health – notes on all parts except first hand pracs • Discuss difficulties in defining the terms health and disease. Health is defined as the complete physical‚ physiological‚ mental and social wellbeing of an organism. It is not merely the absence of disease.
