Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The difference between the structure of the bacterium, a eukaryotic cell, and a virus.
Introduction:
A cell is the fundamental unit of life. The cells help in building up the whole organism. The cell consists of the cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria and other cell organelles that are essential for cellular activity. The cell organelles of the plants are different from the animals.

Explain one structural distinction between viruses and cells.
Which of the following highly contagious viruses is a single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus with a helical capsid and envelope and is transmitted by coming in contact with respiratory secretions?
"This is a highly contagious respiratory illness transmitted when an infected person coughs or sneezes virus particles into the air," the health department said in a written statement. "It's so contagious that if one person is sick and spreading measles, nine out of 10 people around them who aren't immune will get it, too."
