In this assignment, you will use your knowledge to contrast viruses and cells. You will also describe
Question:
Answers
Explanation:
Virus is not as big as a cell
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.
Ihave attached a comparison chart for you to used to answer this question. one other thing that the chart does not address is the relative size of cells veruses a virus. viruses are much smaller, which makes sense if you think about it. a virus would need to be smaller than the host it infects.
