If it consists only of these two components it is a virus.

virus
Yes. All viruses are composed of a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein capsid. When the capsid is not present, the the infectious nucleic acid is called viroid. When the nucleic acid is not present, the infectious protein coating is called prion.
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.
Viruses ---> , there nonliving particles because they do not contain organelles that carry out cell functions, yet they are composed of an inner core of nucleic acids, surrounded by a capsid made of protein. They replicate inside living cells or "host cells" Hope this helps
The food we eat comes from living things. All living things are composed of cells which contain the nucleic acids DNA and RNA to control the cell's activities by controlling protein synthesis.
Virus (singular-virion)
Protein and nucleic acid.

i believe it is a glycopeptide
No, RNA is in a class of macromolecules called nucleic acids. However, RNA is often associated with more than one type of protein in its activities in the cell.
No, cells are composed of all macromolecules: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Cells definitely contain protein in the membranes and organelles, but they're not wholly made up of protein or are a type of protein.
