Viral envelopes can only be acquired (obtained) by viruses that infect: - Bacterial cells - Animal cells - Plant cells - Fungal cells Viral envelopes have proteins from the host cell membrane embedded in them. The presence of these proteins: - Signals the cell to take in the virus - Fools your immune system into thinking the virus belongs in your body - Allows the virus to attach to the host cell - All of these are correct What is "budding out"? A) The process by which a new viral particle leaves a host cell through its membrane, acquiring an envelope as it leaves B) The slow release, at the cell wall, of a new viral particle C) A process of viral release in which a cell explodes, forcefully expelling newly made viruses

Viral Infection & Replication Place the events of viral infection by an enveloped virus in order: New viral particles are assembled Viral capsid degrades, releasing genetic material, Virus exits the cell via budding: Viral envelope fuses with the host cell's membrane Cell produces viral genetic material and viral proteins
