Which of the following is found in viruses and NOT in cells?

Question

a
protein capsid
b
nucleolus
c
cytosol
d
ribosomes

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

a) protein capsid

A protein capsid is a protective protein shell that encapsulates the genetic material of a virus. It is not found in cells, which have membranes and various organelles instead. The other options (nucleolus, cytosol, and ribosomes) are components found in cells.
