Does a virus have a protein coat?
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.
Disease causing nonliving particles composed of an innercore of nucleic acid surrounded a capsid made of protein?
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
What is a nucleic acid coated with a protein?
acids and bases
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.

Viruses are made up of a piece of nucleic acid covered by?
Their RNA or DNA (depending on the virus) is surrounded by a capsid: a protein coat made up of subunits of protein called capsomers
