Document Summary
Influenza: non-lytic or integrative: viral dna is inserted in host genome. Dna=provirus; viral progeny bud at cell surface; cell can survive, often with impaired function (ex. Function of biological membranes: cell boundary, define/enclose compartments, control movement of material into/out of cell, allow response to external stimuli, enable interactions between cells, provide scaffold for biochemical activities. Plasma membrane: trilaminar (means the membrane is 3 layers thick, 6nm thick) Structure of biological membranes: fluid-mosaic model, bilayer of amphipathic (having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions) lipids, proteins: The mitochondria has an inner membrane that contains a very high concentration of protein: ex. The myelin sheath of a neuron contains very low amounts of protein. Myelin sheath consists of layers of plasma membrane, forming insulation around the nerve axon. This is important because the axon is responsible for electrical signals and insulation is key for not short circuiting .
