DNA or RNA + Structural Proteins + Enzymes and nucleic acid binding proteins = Nucleocapsid (may be the same as a virion or surrounded by an envelope)
If there is only a Nucleocapsid, then it is considered a Naked Capsid Virus
If there is a Nucleocapsid with the addition of Glycoproteins and a Membrane, then the virus is considered enveloped.

Viruses that consist of only a nucleocapsid are considered what?
non-enveloped viruses. It's naked viruses.
Enveloped viruses are released from the host cell by?
budding
What is the mechanism of release for enveloped viruses?
The mechanism for the release of an enveloped virus is called "budding". The virus picks up a part of the host's cell membrane to cover its' own protein coat. This happens when the host cell releases the viruses. The cell doesn't bust open with budding.
Does a virus have cell membranes?
Enveloped viruses do have a membrane that they got from their host. All other viruses do not.
What is the exit method used by viruses that does not immediately destroy the host cell and results in an enveloped virus?
This method is called a budding off.

What is a membrane envelope?
All viruses lack cell membranes but some animal viruses have a membrane similar in composition to a cytoplasmic membrane surrounding their capsids called an envelope. This is a membrane envelope. Viruses that have envelopes are called enveloped virion, without the envelope they are called a nonenveloped or naked virion. The envelope is composed of a phospholipid bilayer and proteins such as glycoproteins.

budding
What supplies the envelope of enveloped animal viruses?
Hello there! The envelope of enveloped viruses come from the lipid bilayer of host cells during the budding process. Simple! 😊
How do scientists classify viruses?
They are classified by a number of different viral characteristics. These include DNA vs. RNA viruses, single strand (SS) vs. double strand viruses (DS), enveloped vs. non enveloped, or retrovirus. For example the HIV virus is an enveloped single stranded RNA retrovirus.

What are the differences between simple and complex viruses?
Simple viruses have a basic structure, with only a few genes and proteins, while complex viruses have a more intricate structure with multiple layers and components. Simple viruses typically cause mild infections and are easier to treat, while complex viruses can cause more severe diseases and may be harder to treat due to their sophisticated mechanisms of replication and evasion of the immune system.
What is the exit method used by viruses that does not immediately destroy the host cell and results in an enveloped virus?
This method is called a budding off.
Which would survive best in cold weatheran enveloped virus or a naked virus?
generally naked viruses are stronger, because the viral envelopes are very weak. And those viruses depend on the envelope.
Do virused have cell walls?
NO
