In one complete, grammatically correct sentence, what is the main idea of this paragraph? Write your claim (IN YOUR OWN WORDS) below with details and evidence (IN QUOTES) from the text.
So a virus is a tiny, tiny bubble or shell. If you were to take one little grain of salt and line up viruses along one side of that grain of salt, you’d need hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of viruses just to go from one side of the salt grain to the other. Of course, our bodies are made up of lots of tiny, tiny things, and those are called cells. You can think of a cell as like a Lego. You know, you snap them together, and you can make things like a heart or a brain. We have 37 trillion cells in our body, but each of those 37 trillion cells is huge compared to a virus. If you think of a virus as being the size of a soccer ball, then just one of your cells would be the size of a 40-story building.
