What else can I help you with?
Is a virus bigger than a prokaryote?
Viruses are typically composed of RNA surrounded by a capsid (protein shell). This would mean by definition that the virus molecule, which is technically considered nonliving, is larger than a protein strand (because the capsid is made of protein).
Why virus a particle?
A virus is an obligate intracellular parasitic acellular microorganism, consisting of protein coat and nucleic acid DNA or RNA and may be enveloped or not. It is a particle that is not defined as being alive, that goes inside you and attacks your cells, and inserts their DNA into your cell, so that your cell makes more of the virus instead of making more of itself. If you mean in computers, its when malicious code is running in your computer and doing damage. Just like a biological virus, computer viruses alter existing code and produce more copies of itself. But it is just computer code and not anything that is alive. If you have this, you should run antivirus software or get help from a computer professional.
What is the genetic molecule of a virus?
Either DNA, or RNA, depending on the virus.
What virus is made up of only one protein?
Hepatitis B virus is made up of only one protein called the core protein, which forms the viral capsid.
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.
Which of these objects is are alive you A protein molecule II A cell III A virus?
II and III only
What is next to virus that is very tiny protein material acting as virus?
virions i.e. a virus protein
Does a virus' coat contain protein?
If a virus has one, yes, and it's often referred to as a "protein coat."
Does virus makes protein?
Only through the "hijacking" of the host cell DNA can the virus make protein.
What is a virus molecule of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat?
The retroviruses are enveloped viruses that have two complete copies of RNA. They also contain the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
What is a virus's coat?
protein
What is a virus coated in?
protein

What is a virus outer protein coat called?
Protein capsid.
Is a virus smaller than a chlorine molecule?
Yes, a virus is typically larger than a chlorine molecule. A virus can range in size from around 20-400 nanometers, whereas a chlorine molecule is around 0.2 nanometers in size.

Is warts a protist?
No, warts are caused by a virus called verruca vulgaris. Viruses are DNA or RNA, which are nucleic acids, in a protein coat and are not considered to be alive. Protists are eukaryotic microorganisms, single cell living creatures, and therefore alive.
