The two functions of a virus's protein coat are to protect the genetic material inside and to react with the cell wall of a potential host cell, thus causing the genetic material to be injected into the host cell.

Two functions of protein in a diet?

What are two part of a virus?
The two parts of a virus are the protective protein coating and the genetic material inside.A protein coat and a nucleic acid (either RNA or DNA)
Tobacco mosaic virus is made of what two parts?
A protein coat and RNA genome I would think
What are the two structures that all viruses have in common?
RNA (Ribo-nucleic Acid) and a Protein coat called the capsid.
What two things so a virus need to be called a virus?
Nucleic acid: DNA or RNA Protein coat: capsid
What are the two main parts of a virues?
The two main parts of a virus are Protein Coat and Nucleic Acid. The protein coat completely surrounds the nucleic acid and serves as a protective coating and aids in attachment of the the virus to the host cell. The nucleic acid can be either Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) or Ribonucleic Acid (RNA).
What type of organism is AIDS?
AIDS is a retrovirus. RNA, two reverse transcriptase, a protein capsid, a membrane coat studded with glycoproteins.
How do a viruses protein coat help a virus?
It's like a shield and a cover. The protein shell protects the DNA codes inside the virus from being exposed to the immune system, and when the virus attacks, the protein shell opens up, and injects a string of DNA codes into the infected cell. If there were not protein coats to protect viruses then it will literally die in seconds after entering the host's system. The virus tries to match the recognition glycoprotein on the outside of the cell it is trying to invade, for docking purposes, or for entry purposes. Generally the membrane that covers this type of virus was taken from a cell it lysed on exit.
What are the two functions of proteins?
Protein helps build and maintain body tissues like muscles Enzymes and hormones and other compounds in the body are made of protein Protein is used to make hair, skin and nails
What two things does every virus have?
Every virus has genetic material (DNA or RNA) and a protein coat (capsid) that protects the genetic material.
