YES,
Viruses are microorganisms.
✍️ A virus is a biological agent that reproduces inside the cells of living hosts.
✍️ When infected by a virus, a host cell is forced to produce thousands of identical copies of the original virus at an extraordinary rate.
✍️ A virion (virus particle) has three main parts:
=> Nucleic acid – this is the core of the virus with the DNA or RNA (deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid respectively). The DNA or RNA holds all of the information for the virus and that makes it unique and helps it multiply.
=> Protein Coat (capsid) – This is covering over the nucleic acid that protects it.
=> Lipid membrane (envelope) – this covers the capsid. Many viruses do not have this envelope and are called naked viruses.
✍️ Viruses by themselves are not alive.
✍️ They cannot grow or multiply on their own and need to enter a human or animal cell and take over the cell to help them multiply
