the shell
The outside part of an egg is called the shell. It serves as a protective covering for the egg's contents.
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
A capsid is the protein shell of a virus. It consists of several oligomeric structural subunits made of protein called protomers. The observable 3-dimensional morphological subunits, which may or may not correspond to individual proteins, are called capsomeres. The capsid encloses the genetic material of the virus.
white or some people call just call it the outside of the yoke THE SHELL.
An exoskeleton? I think!
Exoskeleton.
The outside shell of a peanut is called the "hull" or "pod." This protective covering encases the edible seeds, which are commonly referred to as peanuts. The hull is typically brown and papery, and it is usually removed before the peanuts are consumed.
I take it that you meant to ask what surrounds the genome of the virus. The genome of the virus (be it DNA or RNA) is enclosed within the capsid shell. The capsid shell is made by the oligomerisation of capsid proteins in a specific organised manner. The genome together with the capsid is termed as nucleocapsid. Sometimes the nucleocapsid is surrounded by a phospholipid membrane (of host origin) called the envelope. The viruses which have an envelope are called envelope viruses eg., Chikunguyna virus, Rabies virus, HIV and the viruses without an envelope are called naked viruses eg., Poliovirus, Rotavirus
If you are talking about elements, they are electrons.
