Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are viruses made of? (two answers)
A
nucleic acids
B
water
C
proteins
D
lipids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The essential components of infectious viral particles are nucleic acid (the genome) and protein. In addition, all enveloped viruses contain lipid in the envelope and carbohydrate in their glycoprotein peplomers (as well as that in the nucleic acid).

Detailed explanation-2: -A virus is made up of genetic code surrounded by a protein coat. They are the most common biological entities on Earth, outnumbering bacteria 10 to 1.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ingredients in Vital Proteins It’s sourced from pasture-raised cattle and contains type I collagen (the type most prevalent in the body and found in connective tissues), type II (the main component of cartilage) and type III (the type found in bone marrow).

Detailed explanation-4: -The simplest virions consist of two basic components: nucleic acid (single-or double-stranded RNA or DNA) and a protein coat, the capsid, which functions as a shell to protect the viral genome from nucleases and which during infection attaches the virion to specific receptors exposed on the prospective host cell.
