From lipid molecules floating in the environment. From other viruses. From the host cell it came out of. Sometimes you find tiny proteins inside a capsid, along with the genome of DNA or RNA.1 True False Which one of these letters never appears in DNA or RNA?1 C G E U T A What are proteins made of?1 amino acids long strings of glucose molecules A, T, C and G muscle tissue nucleic acids What is a virus capsid made of?1 lipid glycoproteins protein RNA DNA Why does a virus have spikes?1 To identify its species. To help them attach to cells. As a defense mechanism against other microbes. To help them float in the air. Which of these viruses is the smallest?1 rabies adeno Pandora parvo VIRUSES lesson 2: Size and prevalence Back to: VIRUSES lesson 1: Morphology and anatomy
