What protect the DNA of a virus?
Capsid
What acts to protect a virus's DNA?
Capsid
What are the three types of capsid?
helical capsid, icosahedral capsid and polyhedron capsid.
Does bacteria causes diseases by capsid?
Bacteria usually lack capsid. However, certain bacteria have capsid-like proteins which can be the cause of certain infections. Almost all viruses contain this protein and can cause diseases as it protect the virus inner DNA/RNA structure,
What is the outer layer of a virus composed of?
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.
Structures of the biomolecule called prostacyclin?
biomolecule called prostacyclin? what is the functional group?
What biomolecule is preferred by cells as a source of energy to produce ATP?
This biomolecule is glucose.
What is the protein coat the surrounds a virus call?
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.
Is water a Biomolecule?
no
What are three functions of the capsid?
In a virus, the three functions of the capsid is to tightly pack the enzymes and genetic material, to protect the contents from degradation, and to prepare the contents for release upon interaction with a suitable host. This is the basis of the function of a spore.
What organic biomolecule is DNA and RNA?
DNA and RNA contain are made up of the biomolecule nucleic acids.
What is the potein coat that surrounds a virus?
This coat is called a capsid. Sometimes these have a lipid envelope.
