Test Question 1 for Pilot Students
Greetings students. Please click on the hyperlink below to watch a short animation on a virus infecting a cell.
Virus Infecting Cell Animation
This animation may take a few seconds to load, so be patient. After watching the animation, click on "Comments" below and post a response to the animation. Feel free to respond to what another student says. Please also comment on how you feel about this kind of "homework" assignment. Just remember the rules we discussed in class about blogging etiquette.

I think that the animation was great. I thought you meet when you said in class that the host cell will turn into a virus and then when it duplicataed it would make more cells. It was really cool. So the virus makes more and more of itself until it can make no more and the host cell will explode and die cool!!:)GOT PARENTS PERMISSION TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!
I think it was reallly cool. I didn't know that by one virus there can be caused thousands of viruses. MY MOM GAVE ME PERMISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked the animation. But i think i know a way to help inprove your website. Can we see our own comments? After i published my comment i wanted to see it but i couldn't you should fix that.

Hi everyone. Great commnents - it really helps me to know where you misunderstood the topic in class.

Hey scigirlygirl, work on that capitalization! :>)
Thanks again. More posts to come.
Hi Mr.Gatton I permission from my parents.
I didn't understand what it meant about microsomos(is it right)
,it was cool i got a better picture of what you meant in class.
It was a little short but it explianed it good.

The animation states:
A virus is the smallest and simplest of microbes.(A microbe is just another name for a microscopic organism or virus.)
Hey!
Mr.Gatton that's not fair! I can't c the animation!!
=,
I'm m-m-m-m-m-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d!!!!! >=/ I really wanna c that animation! It sounds interesting. :)
Mayb I'll c if I can do this work @ school.
(LOL I beasted on the mad!=>)
=^-^= look a cat! GOOD NIGHT NEW YORK CITY!!!! Thank u very much! =>

That is so scary!=/
i never want to see that again. it reminds me of "The Terminator". you know, the machines taking over the world. how could the viruses do that. their so mean. i wonder how long it takes to make more copies of a viruse. i wonder what kind of viruse that was? i wonder if you feel something in your body when the viruse makes copies. anyways, the cell loked really disqusting. the cell wall and the cell mambrane dont do such a good job. they let the viruse pass by like it was a part of the family or something.=}
(I deleted two comments from sciangel - one was a repeat of the existing comment, the other was an apology for the repeated comment.)M.G.
A note to sciangel
- please review the blog etiquette rules. Although I want you to write more or less freely and not have to look up the spelling of every single word you use, I do expect an effort from you to spell correctly and write in complete sentences and complete words - avoid chatroom and instant messaging abbreviations. Capitalize "I," the first words in a sentence, and proper nouns. Avoid "screaming" - using all caps, repeated exclamations marks, etc.

- According to the animation:
Within hours, a single infected cell can give rise to a million new viruses...Scibaby wrote: they let the viruse pass by like it was a part of the family or somethingIt's analogous to a club where you can get in if you know the password (or secret handshake, etc.). Viruses have our cells' passwords so they get in. It's more complicated than that, of course, but you will have to wait a while to learn more about how all materials, including viruses, enter the cell.
WOW!!How cool is that although you had already explained it in class it was much more easier to see the explanation. My cousin is 26 and she was intrested in it too!
In the animation I learned that a virus unlike the bacteria has no ability to reproduce on its own. I learned that it has to enter the cell and sheds its outer protine coat. I also learned that it hijacks the host cells machinery to reproduce. Finally I learned that once all the parts for the new viruses are completed they reasemle. Its amazing how one little thing can do so much!!!
What I learned from the virus infecting animation was the process of how a virus reproduces it goes as follows.
The virus is unlike the bacteria witch can reproduce on its own.The virus has to enter a cell then shed its outer protine coat,then hijack the host cell machinery to reproduce,once all the parts for the new viruses are completed they reasemle.Then within hours over a million viruses are spread and start entering other cells and reapeat the process.
Its amazing how one small cell can do so much!!!!!
sorry for reapeatin the same thing
