A cell is alive.
A protein is definitely not alive.
A virus - well, that depends on who you ask.

Is a virus bigger than a prokaryote?
Viruses are typically composed of RNA surrounded by a capsid (protein shell). This would mean by definition that the virus molecule, which is technically considered nonliving, is larger than a protein strand (because the capsid is made of protein).
What is the genetic molecule of a virus?
Either DNA, or RNA, depending on the virus.
What is a virus surrounded by?
The nucleic acid of a virus is covered by a protein capsid.
Why virus a particle?
A virus is an obligate intracellular parasitic acellular microorganism, consisting of protein coat and nucleic acid DNA or RNA and may be enveloped or not. It is a particle that is not defined as being alive, that goes inside you and attacks your cells, and inserts their DNA into your cell, so that your cell makes more of the virus instead of making more of itself. If you mean in computers, its when malicious code is running in your computer and doing damage. Just like a biological virus, computer viruses alter existing code and produce more copies of itself. But it is just computer code and not anything that is alive. If you have this, you should run antivirus software or get help from a computer professional.
What is function of the HA protein of influenza virus?
Haemagglutinin (HA) is a surface protein on viruses which assits the virus in attaching to host cells.
Which of these objects is are alive you A protein molecule II A cell III A virus?
II and III only
Does a virus have senses?
No. There is no central nervous system - its just a DNA or RNA molecule coiled up in a protein.

What is next to virus that is very tiny protein material acting as virus?
virions i.e. a virus protein
What is a virus molecule of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat?
The retroviruses are enveloped viruses that have two complete copies of RNA. They also contain the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
Does virus makes protein?
Only through the "hijacking" of the host cell DNA can the virus make protein.
Does a virus' coat contain protein?
If a virus has one, yes, and it's often referred to as a "protein coat."
What is a virus coated in?
protein
What is a virus's coat?
protein
What is the genetic molecule of a virus?
Either DNA, or RNA, depending on the virus.
What is a virus outer protein coat called?
Protein capsid.
What is a virus surrounded by?
The nucleic acid of a virus is covered by a protein capsid.
