It's an organism that can't replicate by itself - a virus is an example of
one.
As an obligate intracellular parasite, viruses cannot (obligate)
replicate unless inside (intracellular) a living host cell. As a
parasite, a virus depends on its living host to provide the
framework (proteins, etc) to replicate—to make additional copies of
itself.
Question 3 pts
What is a viral capsid?
Your Answer:
It's the viruses protective membrane that holds the genetic material.
The capsid is a membrane-like protective structure that contains
the genetic material, similar to the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.
Question 4 pts
What is the viral envelope, and what does the presence (or absence) of it
tell you about the type of virus?
Your Answer:
It's an added membrane that envelopes the capsid of a virus. Most viruses
with envelopes are animal viruses. Most plant and bacteria-infecting
viruses are not enveloped.
