How much similarity does SARS-CoV-2 share with SARS-CoV-1? CORRECT ANS-80%
the simplest biological entity. consists of little more than genetic material (DNA/RNA)
contained in a proteinaceous structure (capsid) surrounded by a membrane (envelope)
CORRECT ANS-Virus
Compare a bacteria vs a virus CORRECT ANS-Bacteria: 1000 micrometers, living, and can be
killed by antibiotics
Virus: 20-400 micrometers, in between living/non-living, not much can be done except
medicines and pray
Are Viruses alive? CORRECT ANS-There is no hard answer. Dr. Farmer says: "Viruses are

virus that does not have an embedded protein envelope (ex: Polio) CORRECT ANS-"naked"
nucleocapsid virus
virus that has an embedded protein envelope CORRECT ANS-enveloped virus
How do I kill an enveloped virus CORRECT ANS-Soap or alcohol. Soap destroys the
envelope surrounding the virus, killing it. Alcohol denatures the membrane, rendering the
virus harmless
How do I kill a naked virus CORRECT ANS-they die on their own
