What else can I help you with?
Are the outer coats of all viruses alike?
No, the outer coats of viruses can vary greatly in structure and composition depending on the specific virus. Some viruses have lipid envelopes surrounding their protein coats, while others have intricate protein coats with unique shapes and features. Each virus adapts its outer coat to help it infect host cells and evade the immune system.
What structures are found in all viruses?
All viruses contain genetic material (DNA or RNA) and a protein coat (capsid) that surrounds and protects the genetic material. Some viruses also have an outer lipid envelope that is derived from the host cell membrane.
Why is not important function of the cytoskeleton?
Viruses have some, but not all, of the characteristics of living things.
All viruses have the same shape?
No, viruses come in all shapes. Google T even viruses, adenoviruses, HIV and other retroviruses and see all the different shapes viruses can come in. Round capsids to space ship lander shaped capsids.
Are all viruses made out of a cell or cells?
No, viruses are not made of cells. They are small infectious agents that can only replicate inside the living cells of organisms. Viruses consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid.
Are the outer coats of all viruses alike?
No, the outer coats of viruses can vary greatly in structure and composition depending on the specific virus. Some viruses have lipid envelopes surrounding their protein coats, while others have intricate protein coats with unique shapes and features. Each virus adapts its outer coat to help it infect host cells and evade the immune system.
Why are viruses made of cells?
Viruses are made of cell parts because they cannot synthesize the materials without a host cell. Protein coats and the material for the nucleic acid are taken entirely from the host cell using its energy.
Is the spanish influenza virus single celled or mulitcellular?
Neither. Viruses do not have cells but are surrounded by protein capsids containing the viral DNA or RNA. Some viruses have glycoprotein coats that they take from the membranes of cells they preform lysis on.
The coats of viruses are composed of wjat?
The coats of viruses, known as capsids, are primarily composed of protein subunits called capsomers. These proteins assemble to form a protective shell that encases the viral genetic material, which can be either DNA or RNA. In some viruses, the capsid is surrounded by an additional lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane. This structure is crucial for protecting the virus and facilitating its entry into host cells.
Are viruses made of?
protein, nucleic acid /\All viruses are made up of a core of genetic material ... nucleic acid, which is either DNA or RNA. This is surrounded by a protein coat.
Where is the protines of a virus located?
When we talk about the anatomy of viruses we can only talk about the DNA or RNA or the protein jacket, as that is all there is to them. The protein is in the protein jacket.
Do platelets have cell walls?
No, only Plant Cells have [to the exterior] cellulosic - protein coats. Animal Cells have glycosyl - protein coats.
What structures are found in all viruses?
All viruses contain genetic material (DNA or RNA) and a protein coat (capsid) that surrounds and protects the genetic material. Some viruses also have an outer lipid envelope that is derived from the host cell membrane.
What basic structure do viruses share?
Unlike prions and viroids, viruses consist of two or three parts: all viruses have genes made from either DNA or RNA, long molecules that carry genetic information; all have a protein coat that protects these genes; and some have an envelope of fat that surrounds them when they are outside a cell. Viroids do not have a protein coat and prions contain no RNA or DNA. In short, just say that all viruses have a protein coat and either DNA or RNA.
What is one thing that all viruses have in common?
Something that ALL viruses have is germs and bacteria, if you are talking about the human body. It will also depend what kind of viruses you are talking about (stomach viruses, computer viruses, human body viruses, etc.). Hope this helped!
Do viruses have a protein coat?
no
Why is not important function of the cytoskeleton?
Viruses have some, but not all, of the characteristics of living things.
