Question
Chapter 13, Problem 1SA
Summary Introduction
To answer:
The comparison and contrast between the cell organelles of virus and bacteria.
Introduction:
The viruses are obligate organisms that show signs of life only inside a host. Outside the host, they either die or do not show any sign of life. They invade the host cell to carry out their function like replication. Unlike viruses, the bacteria are able to manage their own

Define the following terms: a. virus b. virion c. capsid d. retrovirus e. enveloped virus
A patient is diagnosed with a viral infection, and the doctor wants to determine whether the virus is naked or enveloped. To help this doctor, compare and contrast the structure, life cycle, and host cell type of naked and enveloped viruses, and explain how this information can help determine whether a naked or enveloped virus causes the patient's viral infection.
provide evidence supporting or refuting the following statement: Viruses are simple cellular agents of disease
