while they are simple relative to cells, viruses often have a very diverse collection of components. which one of the following choices is least likely to be found as part of a virus?
○ single-stranded dna
○ ribosomes
○ membrane components
○ proteins with functional binding sites

Explanation:

Viruses lack their own ribosomes, as they rely entirely on host cell ribosomes to synthesize their proteins. Single-stranded DNA is present in some viruses (e.g., parvoviruses). Enveloped viruses have membrane components derived from host cells. Viral proteins (like capsid or spike proteins) have functional binding sites for host cell attachment.

Answer:

B. ribosomes
