viruses do not grow, and viruses do not respond to changes in their environment. Therefore, viruses are not living organisms. All living things reproduce, but Viruses need living cells to reproduce because Viruses cannot reproduce by themselves.
Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
Can viruses reproduce with dead or alive cells?
Virus need a working DNA replicating machinary so they can be reproduce only in living cell.

What type of microorganism can only grow and reproduce in host cells?
Viruses.(although they aren't completely clarified as living beings)
