No. Being that viruses are not a living organism, they are neither contain cells, nor are they a cell themselves. Viruses are merely few macromolecules (such as nucleic acid and protein) which combines to form a pathogenic particle.dit: a cell wall-as the name implies-is a part of a cell. Viruses are not cells. â¦ Cells are living, viruses are not.
Section 6.3 Viruses: Structure, Function, and Uses. A virus is a small parasite that cannot reproduce by itself. Once it infects a susceptible cell, however, a virus can direct the cell machinery to produce more viruses. Most viruses have either RNA or DNA as their genetic material.The nucleic acid may be single-or double-stranded.he surface of viruses includes many copies of one type of protein that binds, or adsorbs, specifically to multiple copies of a receptor protein on a host cell. This interaction determines the host range of a virus and begins the infection process (Figure 6-15).
