No. The RNA/DNA is in-cased in the "capsid". This is not the same thing as a cell wall.
Edit: a cell wall - as the name implies - is a part of a cell. Viruses are not cells. Cells are living, viruses are not. Cells are also much larger in size - a virus to a cell could be roughly compared to a man standing next to the Empire State Building.
What else can I help you with?
Does yellow fever have a cell wall?
The yellow fever virus is released through a cell wall. Generally viruses do not have a cell wall. However, they attach to cell walls.
Can viruses be surrounded by a cell wall?
No, because viruses aren't cells but tiny pieces of nucleic acids. They can, however, be enclosed in a protein shell that is similar to a cell wall.
Are viruses surrounded by a cell wall?
No, but all cells have a cell membrane. A cell wall is a rigid structure found surrounding the cell membrane. In plant cells, this is made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. Bacteria have a peptidoglycan cell wall. Animal cells do not have a cell wall.
Do viruses have a nuclear membrane a cell wall membrane-bound organelles or ribosomes?
No, viruses do not have membrane bound organalles
Why are cell walls not needed for animal cells?
every cell has a cell wall. It is needed for vital protection from viruses.
Do viruseshave a cell wall?
No. Viruses aren't made of cells and don't naturally have their own cell parts.
What happens to the viruses after they lyse the cell wall?
The bacteriophage enzyme lyses the bacteriums cell wall, which then releases a new bacteriophage particle that can attack other cells
How does the cellulose help the functions of the cell?
Cellulose helps in the function of the cell wall by making the wall hard enough for a better protection against invading viruses end bacteria.
Are viruses are living?
yes, they are a life form. (there just a cell wall and a string of DNA =P)
What does Cellulose cell wall do?
Cellulose helps in the function of the cell wall by making the wall hard enough for a better protection against invading viruses end bacteria.
Do virus have a cell wall?
Answer... NO According to the KAPLAN's explanation of AAMC MCAT practice test CBT 4, viruses can have cell walls (question B). Either they are wrong, or the rigid coating of a virus is called a cell wall though the virus itself is not considered a "cell." I will look for another source on this, but the common sense answer may not be correct here... I suppose this is just a grievous error on the AAMC MCAT. Viruses do have a protein coat similar to a cell wall, but obviously it is not called a cell wall.
What is the gram stain for rubella virus?
Viruses cannot pick up gram staining because it does not have the cell wall of a bacteria.
