 General Description Of The Structure Virus

NUCLEIC ACID  The body structure of a virus is fairly

simple, the body of the virus only
consists of genetic material in the
form of DNA or RNA that is
surrounded by a protective protein
  calles a capsid
The capsules are constructed by
ENVELOPE identical subunits of one another calles
capsomeres. The shape of these
capsomeres is very symmetrical and can
one day crystallize

 A virus with genetic material wrapped

PROTEIN ENZIM
in a protein wrapper is called a virus
particle or virion. The structure of the
virus body can be divided into the
shape of the virus body, the parts of
the virus body and the body size of
the virus
 Parts Of Virus
Fill The Body Of Virus
Dry body contents called virions
are genetic material that is nucleic
acids (DNA or RNA)

made up of proteins. A capsid consists of parts The tail of the virus consists of clogged
called capsomers, for example, a capsid in TMV tubes with string/fibers. In viruses,

identical monomer proteins, each of which
consists of a polypetide chain.
 Virus Structure

Virus is acellular Viruses only have one kind of

(has no cells) nucleic acid (RNA or DNA)

Viruses are very small, far smaller Viruses are generally in the form
than bacteria, which ranges from of a crystal and its shape varies
20 mikron-300 mikron greatly.

Some virus are oval, elongated, The body of the virus consists of:
cylindrical, square, and most are
head, skin (sheath or capsid),
shaped like tadpoles with oval
body contents,and tail fibers
“heads” and cylindrical “tails”
 Virus Body Shape

The virus can form oval, stem (elongated like the letter T and can also be round. Viruses are not cells
or living things because they do not have cytoplasm and cell organelles don,t carry out metabolism
and are so small that it is impossible to have ceel structures
