What is viral protein?
Some viruses have a capsid with proteins that act as "docking stations" so that they can attach to host cells. Others without capsids also have a different type of protein that does the same thing.
What are the oldest cells on earth?
The first cells on earth were likely prokaryotic. This is because the prokaryotic cells are not complex like eukaryotic cells.
Is prokaryotic cells found mitochandria?
No, Prokaryotic cells do not have mitochondria. only in Eukaryote cells
Which Are Bigger Prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells.
Are cells prokaryotic?
Cells can be prokaryotic, but they can be eukaryotic as well.
What does the protein structure of a virus have to do with the attachment to host cells?
caspsid
What do prokaryotic cells contain that make proteins?
Prokaryotic cells have ribosomes, which is where protein synthesis occurs.
What is the protein coat the surrounds a virus call?
The protein coat surrounding the nucleic acid of a virus is called the capsid. These are broadly classified according to their structures. Helical (cylindrical) and icosahedral (spherical) are the most common types.
Which organelle produces proteins in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
The ribosomes are the small organelles responsible for protein synthesis. They are found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, but are smaller in prokaryotic cells (70s vs 80s).
Do viruses have a protein coat?
no
What is a virus outer protein coat called?
Protein capsid.
What is the outer layer of a virus composed of?
Outer layer of a virus is called a capsid. It is the shell of protein which protects the nucleic acid, the brain of a virus. Capsid is composed of individual morphological units called capsomers.
What do you call the protein shell of a virus?
A capsid is the protein shell of a virus. It consists of several oligomeric structural subunits made of protein called protomers. The observable 3-dimensional morphological subunits, which may or may not correspond to individual proteins, are called capsomeres. The capsid encloses the genetic material of the virus.
What is the name of the protein that surrounds the virus?
a capsid
Disease causing nonliving particles composed of an innercore of nucleic acid surrounded a capsid made of protein?
Viruses ---> , there nonliving particles because they do not contain organelles that carry out cell functions, yet they are composed of an inner core of nucleic acids, surrounded by a capsid made of protein. They replicate inside living cells or "host cells" Hope this helps
Why are virus's protein important?
They form the capsid that encloses the genetic material and retroviruses contain the protein enzyme reverse transcriptase. Also the proteins, especial glycoproteins, are the key that enters the lock of a cells protein markers.
Does a virus has an outer protein coat?
A virus has a protective protein coating called the capsid. The capsid is a cover for the genetic material inside, either RNA or DNA.
