The shape of viruses varies greatly. They can be shaped like small balls (spherical viruses) like strands of spaghetti (flexous viruses) rigid rods, like bullets (baciliform viruses) and like geometric shapes (isocohedral viruses) The smallest viruses can be as small as 20nm (20/1,000,000 of a mm) to as much as 2,000 nm for some flexous plant viruses.

What is the helical virus?
The helical virus is a type of virus that has a capsid structure in the shape of a helix. This helical structure is formed by protein subunits arranged in a spiral around the viral genetic material. Examples of helical viruses include tobacco mosaic virus and influenza virus.
The shape of the proteins allows the virus's coat to attach to only certain cells in the host?
true
What is a bactriophage?
A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It injects its genetic material into a bacterial cell, taking over the cell's machinery to produce more virus particles. Bacteriophages are being studied for their potential use in treating bacterial infections as an alternative to antibiotics.
What is the shape of the blue tongue virus?

Why is a viral shape important for a virus?
It has to fit the shape of the cell that it is infecting.
What geometric shape does a virus prefer?
A Hexagon
What shape is a hepatitis b virus?

What is the shape of virus that attacks bacteria?
The shape of a virus that attacks bacteria is typically cylindrical or polyhedral. These viruses that infect bacteria are known as bacteriophages and come in various shapes and sizes.
Are viruses classified by their shape?
A virus can have one of two structures. These are: •Helical virus. A helical virus is rod- or thread-shaped. The virus that causes rabies is a helical virus. •Icosahedral virus. An icosahedral virus is spherically shaped. Viruses that cause poliomyelitis and herpes simplex are icosahedral viruses.
What type of geometric shape does a virus prefer?
a circle
