Disadvantages of Other Plans. 1  The New Jersey Plan: -- 2 If each state has the same number of representatives, a tiny group of people would have just as much power as a huge group of people. It is unfair for a smaller group of people to have the same amount of power as a much larger group of people of equal status.
For some viruses, the capsid is surrounded by lipid bilayer that contains viral proteins, usually including the proteins that enable the virus to bind to the host cells. This lipid and protein structure is called the virus envelope, and is derived from the host cell membranes.
The capsid of the virus is a protein shell. It consists of several identical subunits called capsomers, made of proteins. The function of this shell is to preserve the viral genome, preserve it from physical damage (shearing from mechanical forces) and chemical damage (UV irradiation leading to chemical modification).he structure of a simple virus consists of a protein shell and a viral genome. The size of an ordinary virus usually varies from 10 to 300 nm and it is composed of a viral genome and a capsid.
