The terms from Campbell's Biology 7th edition AP edition. Ch. 18 sec. 1-2 on viruses. Plus some from my teacher.

9487284	Virus	Sub-cellular non living particle	0
9487285	Properties of a virus	1. Subcellular. 2. Passive reproduction. 3. Metabolically inactive unless in contact with living cell. 4.Obligate parasites	1
9487286	Capsid	Outer protein coat of a virus	2
9487287	Capsomere	The "brick" of a capsid	3
9487288	Lytic cycle	PHage reproductive cycle that ends in death of cell; named for when the cell/bacteria lyses(breaks open)	4
9487289	Lysogenic cycle	Phage reproduction cycle in which the cell replicates the phage genome without destroying itself	5
9487290	Bacteriophage	A virus that infects bacteria	6
9487291	Provirus	Integrated viral DNA which never leaves host's genome	7
9487292	Retrovirus	RNA animal virus with most complicated reproductive cycles; has an enzyme which turns RNA into DNA	8
9487293	Viroid	Circular RNA molecule that infects plants; doesn't encode proteins but use cellular enzymes to replicate	9
9487294	Prion	A misfolded form of a protein usually present in brain cells; causes degenerative brain diseases in some animals-changes protein structures of your own protein	10
9487295	Restriction enzymes	Cellular enzymes that are able to recognize foreign DNA and can cut it up	11
