Science Holiday Homework Q1 Gather information about the structure of corona virus (COVID-19) and mode of infection of corona virus. • Structure of Corona Virus :- Corona virus is large in size where the cell diameter is 400-500 micron. The corona virus pa rticles are organised with long RNA(ribonucleic acid) polymers tightly packed into the centre of partical, and s and surrounded by proactive capsid , which is lattice off repeated protein molecules referred to as coat or capsid proteins. In coronavirus , these proteins are called nucleocapsid (N). The coronavirus core particle is further surrounded by an outer membrane envelope made of lipids (fats) with proteins inserted. These membranes derived from the cells in which the virus was last assembled but are modified to contain specific viral proteins including the spike (S), membrane (M), envelope (E) proteins . Coronavirus particles are rapidly and activated – killed – by exposure t...
