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. The ones that do not are said to be naked. The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell. The naked viruses are more resistant to changes in the environment.

What are two types of virisus?
Two types of viruses are DNA viruses, which have genetic material made of DNA, and RNA viruses, which have genetic material made of RNA. DNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell's nucleus, while RNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell's cytoplasm.
Something is made from 2 other things what do you call things made this way?
Something made from two other things is typically called a composite or combination.
What two viruses can impact living things?
polivirus-causes polio and adenovirus-affextss the adenoids

What are two things make viruses different to plants and animals?
1. they don't have cells, virus is a chunk of nucleic acid with a protein coat. 2. most viruses are destructive and they reproduce inside living things.
What two things are used to classify viruses?
Shape,Genetic material,Precense of reverse transcriptase enzyme,Host
What is the two different lifecycles exhibited by viruses?
The two different lifecycles of viruses are Lytic and Lysogenic
What are the two main groups of microorganisms found on hands?
The two main groups of microorganisms found on hands are bacteria and viruses. Bacteria are the most abundant microorganisms, while viruses are typically less common but can be extremely contagious and cause infections.
Why cant you use antibiotics to kill virus but bacteria can be killed by antibiotics?
Because bacteria and viruses are two completely different things. Antibiotics - as their name implies - will kill bacteria, but antibiotics simply have no effect on viruses.
Are ants made out of cells?
All living things large enough for you to see are made out of many cells, including ants. Some of the animals and plants that are too small for you to see are made out of just one cell each. Viruses are not made out of cells, but it is a tricky question to argue whether a virus is a living thing or not. For the purposes of this question I suggest you assume that viruses are not truly living things. This principle that "All living things are composed of cells and cell products" was first discovered and suggested by two scientists called Schleiden and Schwann. It is called the cell theory, and is one of the most important discoveries of modern biology.
What two things make up a virus?
Viruses are just protein shells that in some cases contain RNA and in others it's DNA.
Do viruses have scientific names?
Yes, viruses have scientific names that are typically based on their classification, such as the type of virus and where it was first isolated. These names are often used in scientific research and taxonomy to distinguish between different viruses.
