Name two structural features found in all virus particles and describe the function of one of these features.
Viruses are described as both acellular and non-living. Explain what is meant by these two terms.
Many antibiotics, such as penicillin, function by disrupting bacterial cell wall synthesis or bacterial protein synthesis. Explain why these antibiotics are not effective against viruses.
