does a virus have cells
1 Viruses, on the other hand, do not have any cells. 2  Viruses are made up of a protein structure called a capsid. 3  Though this capsid contains the virus's genetic material, it lacks the features of a true cell, such as cell walls, transport proteins, cytoplasm, organelles, and so on.

No. Being that viruses are not a living organism, they are neither contain cells, nor are they a cell themselves. Viruses are merely few macromolecules (such as nucleic acid and protein) which combines to form a pathogenic particle.dit: a cell wall-as the name implies-is a part of a cell. Viruses are not cells. â¦ Cells are living, viruses are not.
