No, a virus is basically a protein coat, a capsid, surrounding genetic material, Retroviruses can have membranous covers and reverse transcriptase enzymes in addition to the above basic viral complement.

What organelles of cells assemble HIV?

The virus "hijacks" the nucleus and makes this organelle "order" new virus parts and assembles them.


Which is smaller a eukaryotic organism or a prokaryotic organism?

Eukaryotes have organelles, like the mitochondria, which we think were prokaryotes a very long time ago. To fit these organelles inside their cytoplasm, the eukaryotes would have to be larger.


Is a virus smaller than an organelle?

Yes, viruses are typically smaller than organelles. Viruses are simple infectious agents that rely on a host cell to multiply, while organelles are complex structures within cells that carry out specific functions.


What does a typical virus cell look like?

A virus is not considered a cell because it lacks cellular structures like a nucleus or organelles. Instead, a virus typically consists of genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. Some viruses may also have an outer lipid envelope.


How do viruses differ from cells in organelles?

There are no cells in organelles, organelles make up cells. Vira are different from organelles in that a virus has three basic features: a shell that serves as a body, mobility structures that help it latch on to something, and a DNA or RNA vector that they feed to the nucleus of a host cell.


What are the differences between a virus and a eukaryote?

a virus has no membrane bound organelles,whereas a typical eukaryotic cell has membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria. A virus destroys a cell by replicating itself and assembling new viruses inside the host cell until it bursts, releasing hundreds of new viruses
