The microscopic world: viruses and vaccines, sentence 0

A virus is far smaller than a bacterium, a tiny packet of instructions in a coat, often drawn like a ball with spikes; most are too small to see even with an ordinary school microscope.

Who acts: virus, most · What happens: be, draw, see · To what, where: tiny packet

This is a sentence of the lesson «The microscopic world: viruses and vaccines» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (virus, most), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
