To determine:
The parts of the given figure of a virus.
Introduction:
A virus can be defined as a biological agent which reproduces inside the living cells of the hosts. When there is an infection by a virus, the host cell produces thousands of similar copies of the original virus at an unexpected rate.

Explanation of Solution
Given figure of virus structure has the following parts:
Viruses are made up of genetic material which is surrounded by a protein coat. The virus core is made up of
The envelopes are usually derived from the parts of the host cell membranes such as phospholipids and proteins. These contain some viral glycoproteins. They may assist the viruses to evade the host immune system. Glycoproteins present on the surface of the envelope helps to recognize and fix to the receptor spots on the host membrane.
Hence, the given figure of virus structure has the following parts: membrane envelope, capsid, and genome.
