Daniel Rose · Answer 2

Viruses are nonliving and infect host cells. Cells are the smallest form of structure and function in living organisms. Viruses cannot make their own food, do not contain a cell membrane, and cannot reproduce. Cells contain a cell membrane, DNA, RNA, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and are able to grow and reproduce, and respond to stimuli. Viruses contain one nucleic acid, a capsid, and an envelope.
