Are bacteria and viruses surrounded by a protein coat?
No - They are surrounded by a protein coat called the capsid
Do virus' have cell membrane?
Virus does not have a 'cell' membrane in the sense of a phospholipid bilayer, and virus is not commonly defined as a cellular organism by convention anyways (therefore the debate about whether a virus is alive). Most virus, however, do possess an outer protein coat that protects its genetic material.</
Where cell coat is found?
It's actually called a cell wall, and it is found outside the plasma membrane which surrounds the cell.
What is the mechanism of release for enveloped viruses?
The mechanism for the release of an enveloped virus is called "budding". The virus picks up a part of the host's cell membrane to cover its' own protein coat. This happens when the host cell releases the viruses. The cell doesn't bust open with budding.
Is a virus a cell why or why not?
No, as viruses consist of a nucleic acid core and a protein coat. In order to be a cell it must have a cell membrane
Are bacteria and viruses surrounded by a protein coat?
No - They are surrounded by a protein coat called the capsid
Which part of the Cell prevents it from dissolving into water?
The Cell membrane, along with its integrated proteins. In prokaryotes the Cell membrane is bolstered by the [mostly cellulosic] Cell Wall; in eukaryotes the Cell membrane is bolstered by the [glyco-protein] Cell Coat.
All cells are surrounded by a(n)?
A Cell Membrane: The bi-lipid-layer Cell Membrane. Plant Cells include an exterior [cellulosic] Cell Wall while animal Cells include an exterior glyco-callyx [sugar-protein] Cell Coat.
Do eukaryotic animal cells have cell membranes and cell walls?
No, the extra-Cellular side of the animal Cell [bi-lipid] membrane is called the Glycocallyx, or the glyco-protein coat.
Clear fluid in eukaryotic cells surround the nucleus and organelles?
Not Cell Walls. The bi-lipid Cell membrane; plant Cells include the exterior Cell Wall while animal Cells include the exterior Cell glycol-callyx [sugar-protein] Coat.
Where is the cell membrane located in the Cell?
It is internal to the prokaryotic Cell wall as well as the eukaryotic Cell coat.
How does the structure of a plant Cell keep it safe?
Cell Membranes of all sorts are fragile. Plant Cells encase their Interiors, including the Cell membrane, with a Strong cellulosic Cell Wall. Animal Cells produce a glyco-callyx [sugar-protein] Cell Coat.
What do cells have that viruses do not?
Viruses are made up of a strand of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) and sometimes have a protein coat protecting it. Viruses lack many of the components normally associated with cells such as a cell membrane and cytoplasm.
Do All cells contain a cell membrane and cell wall?
All cells are bounded by a cell membrane (bi-lipid layer). Earlier, simpler cells - prokaryotes e.g. bacteria - do have an external strong [cellulosic?] cell wall, while more 'modern' cells, eukaryotes, utilize a glyco-protein coat for protection and strength.
What do animal Cells have that other Cell types do not have?
All body cells contain a cell membrane which contains the contents of the cell, and a cytoplasm in which chemical reactions occur. Most body cells also contain a nucleus, but red blood cells (erythrocytes) are an exception to this.
