the protection of a cell
cell membrane
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.
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.
The nucleic acid of a virus is stored in its viral capsid or envelope. The capsid or envelope protects the genetic material of the virus and helps it enter host cells to replicate.

Correct. For APEX it is, A protective shell around a virus.
This coat is called a capsid. Sometimes these have a lipid envelope.
