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.


What two things are viruses made of?

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.


How viruses are made?

Viruses are not made, but rather reproduce by hijacking the cells of living organisms such as plants, animals, and bacteria. They enter a host cell, take over its machinery to replicate their genetic material, and assemble new virus particles. This process ultimately leads to the release of these new viruses from the host cell to infect other cells.


What particles reproduce that are made up of nucleic acids proteins and sometimes lipids only infecting living cells?

Viruses are particles that reproduce by infecting living cells. They consist of nucleic acids, proteins, and sometimes lipids.


Is the outer covering of viruses a capsid made of chitin?

No, the outer covering of viruses is not made of chitin. Viruses have a protein coat called a capsid that surrounds their genetic material. Chitin is a structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans.

Are viruses made up of tissues?

No, tissues are made up of cells and viruses are not even cells.


What are substances made from weakened viruses or bacteria?

Inoculations (for immunization) are substances made from weakened viruses or bacteria.


What are substances made from dead viruses?

Vaccines for the prevention of the specific viral infection can be made with inactive "dead" viruses. They are also made with live, but attenuated (weakened), viruses. See more below about vaccines.


What are two types of virisus?

Two types of viruses are DNA viruses, which have genetic material made of DNA, and RNA viruses, which have genetic material made of RNA. DNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell's nucleus, while RNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell's cytoplasm.


Why they are telling that virus is made up of cell?

They are confused of what are viruses (or they discovered something we don't know), but importantly viruses are not made out of cells or a cell


What is injection of weakened viruses is called?

A vaccination using a vaccine made from attenuated live viruses.

Does cells have viruses?

cells are not made with viruses unless the virus gets into the cell itself. The viruses get into the cell and the virus will spread killing off whatever it can ;)


What are solutions of killed or weakened viruses?

One such example would be a vaccine for viral illnesses. They can be made from attenuated (weakened) viruses or from inactivated viruses or pieces of them.


Are computer viruses man-made?

Yes, computer viruses are man-made malicious software programs designed to infect and harm computer systems.


Are viruses made of a cell or cells?

well viruses are caused by bacteria and bacteria are cells. so yes


Do viruses have a mitocondria?

No- viruses are acellular, which means that they are not made up of groups of cells, and thus do not have mitochondria present in them.
