The diagram below shows the Covid-19 virus with its spike protein. It also shows the area on the spike protein
which binds to the ACE2 receptor (receptor binding domain).

Recepter Binding Domain (RBD)
Spike Protein
In order to get into a cell, the Covid-19 virus needs to bind to
the ACE2 receptor. Once bound it is brought into the cell. These
receptors are found on cells making up various tissues (oral and
nasal mucosa, nasopharynx, lung, stomach, small intestine,
colon, skin, lymph nodes, thymus, bone marrow, spleen, liver, kidney,
and brain). The symptoms for Covid-19 are linked to the tissue
cells the virus infects. To the right is a diagram showing the biding
of the spike protein to the ACE2 receptor.

Viruses with negative sense RNA genomes typically, make proteins by: (Ignore retroviruses, and the unusual characteristics of coronaviruses) Translation of short RNA transcripts generated by RDRP Generating a DNA copy, which is then transcribed by host RNA polymerase. Translation of the viral genome by host ribosomes. Production of a polyprotein, which must be cleaved into smaller proteins. Generating a negative sense genome copy, which is then translated by host ribosomes.

Rhinovirus, the most common cause of colds, do not have a lipid envelope. Compared to enveloped viruses these and other nonenveloped viruses tend to remain infectious outside the body longer, are more likely to be spread by contact with surfaces, and are likely to be rendered harmless by exposure to hand sanitizer or hand washing. Explain how the lack of an envelope could contribute to these characteristics.
