Lipid Envelop. Thus, they are less subject to dessication, destruction in the G.I. and can survive outside of a host.

Viruses that consist of only a nucleocapsid are considered what?
non-enveloped viruses. It's naked viruses.
Why can Bacteria or viruses not be seen by naked eye?
they are very small in other words Microscopic
What does the head on a virus do?
Very few viruses have what you call a "head". Viruses are composed of two main parts: an outer protein covering called a capsid and an inside core of either DNA or RNA. Not both DNA and RNA. Some of these have an envelope over the capsid. The ones that do not are said to be naked. The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell. The naked viruses are more resistant to changes in the environment. Some naked viruses include poliomyelitis, warts, the common cold, chickenpox, shingles, mononucleosis, herpes simplex (cold sores), influenza, herpes viruses and HIV (AIDS). Some enveloped viruses include norovirus (stomach bug), rotavirus and human papillomavirus (HPV). The envelope can be damaged by freezing temperatures, chlorine, and phenol. If damaged the virus cannot infect.

Which living things in garden cannot be visible with naked eye?
microorganism

What are several things used to classify viruses?
Viruses can be labeled as RNA or DNA viruses and they can be said to have an envelope or to be "naked".
What additiional protective layer of protein surrounds some viruses?
This layer is called a capsid. The viruses without one are called naked viruses. The naked virus is can be damaged more readily by things in the environment.
Which would survive best in cold weatheran enveloped virus or a naked virus?
generally naked viruses are stronger, because the viral envelopes are very weak. And those viruses depend on the envelope.
Why can Bacteria or viruses not be seen by naked eye?
they are very small in other words Microscopic
Is a virus bigger or smaller than bacteria?
Bacteria and viruses can breed. i.e. When bacteria breeds, they form large colonies visible to the naked eye When viruses breed, they become more deadly or mutate but are still virtually invisible to the naked eye.
What are the main components that all viruses have?
Viruses are composed of two main parts: an outer protein covering called a capsid and an inside core of either DNA or RNA. Not both DNA and RNA. Some of these have an envelope over the capsid.

Can naked virus have glycoproteins?
Unlike enveloped viruses that have glycoproteins on their envelopes, glycoproteins project out from the capsid of a naked virus. Most diagrams will show them on the end of spider looking legs projecting from the bottom of the capsid.
What are some specific examples of viruses?
Some naked viruses include poliomyelitis, warts, the common cold, chickenpox, shingles, mononucleosis, herpes simplex (cold sores), influenza, herpes viruses and HIV (AIDS). Some enveloped viruses include norovirus (stomach bug), rotavirus and human papillomavirus (HPV).
