Questions and Answers

Coronaviruses typically range in size from 60-200 nm, making them relatively small compared to bacteria.

True (A)

Coronaviruses contain double-stranded DNA as their genetic material, similar to human cells.

False (B)

The E1 protein is primarly responsible for cell adhesion.

False (B)

Coronaviruses enter cells through active transport, a process requiring the host cell to expend energy.
