Viruses are made up of a piece of nucleic acid covered by?
Their RNA or DNA (depending on the virus) is surrounded by a capsid: a protein coat made up of subunits of protein called capsomers
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
What is a chromosome-like part surrounded by protein coat?
A particle fitting your description may be a virus particle, which is made up of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed by a protein capsid.
What is the protein coat that surounds a virus called?
The envelope.
The outside shell of a virus is called what?
Made of protein and called a capsid.
What is the outside shell of a virus is called what?
Made of protein and called a capsid.
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.
Do viruses have cyoplasm?
Viruses do not have a cytoplasm. A virus particle is known as a virion. It consists of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protective coat made of protein known as a capsid. Some viruses are surrounded by an envelope which comes from the host cell membrane.
Is a virus bigger than a prokaryote?
Viruses are typically composed of RNA surrounded by a capsid (protein shell). This would mean by definition that the virus molecule, which is technically considered nonliving, is larger than a protein strand (because the capsid is made of protein).
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.
Are viruses made of protein and lipid membranes?
A virus particle is composed of a nucleic acid that is surrounded by the capsid (which is the protective layer that is made out of protein). Some viruses can have lipid envelope however, not all viruses have a lipid envelope.
A viral capsid is composed of?
it is composed of individual morphological units called capsomers.
