What else can I help you with?
Where are nail cells formed?
They are composed of a protein called keratin.
What organic molecules exist in all viruses?
All viruses contain genetic material, which is typically composed of either DNA or RNA. Additionally, viruses have a protein coat called a capsid that encloses the genetic material. Some viruses also have an outer lipid membrane envelope derived from the host cell.
What are hair shafts composed of?
Hair shafts are composed of a protein called keratin. Keratin is a tough, fibrous protein that provides strength and structure to the hair shaft. Additionally, the hair shaft also contains melanin, a pigment that gives hair its color.
What Basic monomers or subunits of which a protein is composed are?
Proteins are composed of monomers called amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids commonly found in proteins, each with a unique side chain. These amino acids are joined together through peptide bonds to form the primary structure of a protein.
Diseases caused by pathogens are called?
N/aA pathogen by definition is a disease causing organism
What is a infectious agent composed of a simple strand of RNA with no protein component?
A infectious agent composed of a simple strand of RNA with no protein component is called a viroid. Viroids are smaller and simpler than viruses, consisting only of a short, circular RNA molecule. They can infect plants and disrupt their normal growth processes.
What is the protein called that hair is composed of?
The protein that hair is composed of is called keratin.
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.
What protein are fingernails composed of?
Fingernails and hair (and claws, hooves and horns on animals) is composed of a protein called "Keratin".
What is the combination of a virus's gentic material and protein called?
A virus has either RNA or DNA as it's genetic material and a protein coat. Together they are called a virus. Without either they are not infectious. There are some misfolded proteins called virons that are infectious but they are not considered to be viruses.
What is the protein that hair is composed of?
Hair is primarily made up of a protein called keratin.
What is hair composed of?
Hair is composed of a protein called keratin, which is produced by hair follicles in the skin.
What is an infectious protein?
Infectious protein, also known as a prion, is best known as the cause of mad cow disease (which is technically called bovine spongiform encephalopathy). Scrapie, a disease of sheep, and kuru, a disease that affects cannibals, are also caused by prions.
What is a biological particle composed of a nucleic acid core and a protein cover called?
If it consists only of these two components it is a virus.
Where are nail cells formed?
They are composed of a protein called keratin.
Where is an arthropods skeleton?
Arthropod have exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is composed of a thin, outer protein layer, the epicuticle, and a thick, inner, chitin–protein layer.
What organic molecules exist in all viruses?
All viruses contain genetic material, which is typically composed of either DNA or RNA. Additionally, viruses have a protein coat called a capsid that encloses the genetic material. Some viruses also have an outer lipid membrane envelope derived from the host cell.
