What is an obligate intracellular parasite?9/6/2020 M6: Module 6 Review...
It's an organism that can't replicate by itself - a virus is an example of
one.
As an obligate intracellular parasite, viruses cannot (obligate)
replicate unless inside (intracellular) a living host cell. As a
parasite, a virus depends on its living host to provide the
framework (proteins, etc) to replicate—to make additional copies of
itself.

Question 4 pts

Your Answer:
It's an added membrane that envelopes the capsid of a virus. Most viruses

viruses are not enveloped.
