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. Some enveloped viruses include norovirus (stomach bug), rotavirus and human papillomavirus (HPV). The envelope can be damaged by freezing temperatures, chlorine, and phenol. If damaged the virus cannot infect.

Does a virus have cell membranes?
Enveloped viruses do have a membrane that they got from their host. All other viruses do not.
When an enveloped virus adsorbs to the host cell with its protein spikes the virions are taken into the cell by the process of?
endocytosis
What is the mechanism of release for enveloped viruses?
The mechanism for the release of an enveloped virus is called "budding". The virus picks up a part of the host's cell membrane to cover its' own protein coat. This happens when the host cell releases the viruses. The cell doesn't bust open with budding.
How do enveloped viruses differ from nonenveloped viruses?
DNA or RNA + Structural Proteins + Enzymes and nucleic acid binding proteins = Nucleocapsid (may be the same as a virion or surrounded by an envelope) If there is only a Nucleocapsid, then it is considered a Naked Capsid Virus If there is a Nucleocapsid with the addition of Glycoproteins and a Membrane, then the virus is considered enveloped.
What is the exit method used by viruses that does not immediately destroy the host cell and results in an enveloped virus?
This method is called a budding off.
Is Rubella a naked or enveloped virus?
I previously did a research project on Rubella. I found that it was a +Strand RNA disease and was enveloped. Hope this helped :)

Where does an enveloped virus synthesize its proteins?
Viral proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm using the host's enzymes.
What shape is aids virus?
The shape is odd considering that it resembles a T-rex on a skateboard.
Is chickenpox virus a DNA or RNA virus?
The virus that causes chickenpox, known as varicella zoster virus or VZV, is closely related to the herpes viruses and is an enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus
Is polio virus enveloped or non enveloped?
Yes, A SSRNA one. HIV is a retrovirus. All retroviruses are enveloped. This means when they leave the host cell after replication, they "bud" out and become coated in some of the host cell's plasma membrane which they embed with viral proteins. The capsid is then enveloped with a coating that the immune system is less likely to recognize as being foreign.
What is rona virus?
Assuming that you mean Coronavirus, it is a type of enveloped virus that resembles a halo under a miscrope. It can cause diseases such as pneumonia and the common cold.

Is the mumps disease form a provirus?
No. The mumps virus is an enveloped single-stranded, linear negative-sense RNA virus of the Rubulavirus genus and Paramyxovirus family.
What are the 4 basic virus shapes?
Spacecraft, spherical, crystal, and cylinder , and these are the 4 basic shapes of virus
