What is the outside shell of a virus is called what?
Made of protein and called a capsid.
What is the outside part of the egg called?
The outside of an egg is called the shell.
What is the outside of particles called?
the shell
What is a virus called outside a host cell?
virus can't live outside host cell
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.
What is the outside of an egg called?
white or some people call just call it the outside of the yoke THE SHELL.
What is the shell that covers the outside of a animal's body called?
An exoskeleton? I think!
What is the hard covering on the outside of some animals body's?
Exoskeleton.
What surrounds a virus?
I take it that you meant to ask what surrounds the genome of the virus. The genome of the virus (be it DNA or RNA) is enclosed within the capsid shell. The capsid shell is made by the oligomerisation of capsid proteins in a specific organised manner. The genome together with the capsid is termed as nucleocapsid. Sometimes the nucleocapsid is surrounded by a phospholipid membrane (of host origin) called the envelope. The viruses which have an envelope are called envelope viruses eg., Chikunguyna virus, Rabies virus, HIV and the viruses without an envelope are called naked viruses eg., Poliovirus, Rotavirus
What is the coating around a virus's core made of?
THe outer shell of a virus is called the capsid, and consists of various proteins, which are arranged to enable the virus to enter and control a host cell. These proteins are called protomers and are assembled in units called capsomeres.
What is the host range of a virus?
protein shell
What is a. capsid?
A protective shell around a virus
