Viruses are not made of cells. They are not cells. They are DNA or RNA with a protein coat.
Viruses are not made of cells. Only living organisms are made of cells. Viruses are considered infectious particles. Viruses are in fact composed of a protein capsid encapsulating genetic material (DNA or RNA). In some instances, an outer envelope may be present. Additional structures such as tail fibres and a base plate, etc may also be present in some viruses, such as the T3 bacteriophage.

Do viruses grow on dead cells?
Viruses that enter a cell do not die. A virus cannot reproduce on its own so it needs to find a cell in which to live. After the virus is done reproducing, most host cells die.
If you opened a virus what would you find?
You would find nucleic acids and core proteins
Would you expect to find chloroplasts in the cells of a root?
no,because root cells do not have chloroplasts.
Would you find protein inside cells or cells inside proteins?
Proteins are found in cells. Proteins are a macromolecule.
Why would you find xylem cells in a tree's bark?
you dont
If you took a virus apart would you find cell?
no, its a virus
If you took a virus would you find cells?
Yes, you find cells in everything.
Can you find cells in a virus?
You would not find any cells inside a virus. A virus is a small infectious particle and is actually much smaller than most cells. You will find either DNA or RNA in a virus, but never both.
If you took a virus part would you find cells?
yes
Are viruses the tiniest cells?
Viruses are no cells. But I guess you wouldn't find a cell that's smaller than a virus.
Which cell type would you expect to find in elevated numbers in a person producing large amount of circulating anti-bodies to combat a virus?
White blood cells.
Do viruses grow on dead cells?
Viruses that enter a cell do not die. A virus cannot reproduce on its own so it needs to find a cell in which to live. After the virus is done reproducing, most host cells die.
Where can you find the infection from a virus its not in my blood?
To replicate viruses enter host body cells and take them over. Different viruses target different body cells. For instance the common cold virus targets the nasal membrains, herpies attacks nerve cells and HIV attacks bood cells.
How do you find out if you have DNA damage to your cells?
Once the DNA is contaminated by a virus, the cell will release a chemical to signal other cells of the contamination. This is how the local region of cells find out if there is any DNA damage to a cell. As for the body as a whole, you wouldn't find out until cells have already begun dying.
Which organelle would you expect to find in plant cells but not find in animal cells?
Chloroplast
In which types of cells would you find cytoplasm?
All cells do
If you opened a virus what would you?
You would find nucleic acids and core proteins
