Answer:
Explanation:
In virology, viruses do not have cell walls which are characteristic of some living organisms, instead, they have a protective protein coat which surrounds the nucleic acid. This coat is called a capsid
Viruses initially stick to cell membranes through interactions unrelated to fusion proteins. The virus surfs along the fluid surface of the cell and eventually the viral fusion proteins bind to receptor molecules on the cell membrane
