I'm pretty sure they are both a microscopic orgainism found in a human's body.
Some viruses are single-celled organisms. They can be parasites that infect a host body in order to reproduce and increase in size which is what can make that host body sick. So a cell can be a virus because viruses can consist of only one cell. The only reason the virus would cause harm is because millions of them can be reproduced quickly asexually and completely invade a certain part/or all of the host body.
What else can I help you with?
What is the same about viruses and cells?
they are both microscopic.
Can a person have two viruses at the same time?
Yes, he can. One infection does not protect against the other. Viruses can even interbreed in your cells.
What do viruses do to cells in the body?
it will eat the cells unlike good ones eat dead tissue (a group of same-cells working as one).
Are viruses old prehistoric cells or are they highly evolved cells?
viruses dont have cells
Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
Is genetic material found in both cells and viruses?
Yes, both viruses and cells have DNA.
Are viruses made up of tissues?
No, tissues are made up of cells and viruses are not even cells.
Are viruses smaller than eukaryotic cells?
Yes, viruses are smaller than eukaryotic cells.
Why do you classify viruses as obligatory intracellular parasite?
Viruses need living cells to produce more viruses. They are obliged to use living cells.
Does viruses have cell wall?
No. The RNA/DNA is in-cased in the "capsid". This is not the same thing as a cell wall.Edit: a cell wall - as the name implies - is a part of a cell. Viruses are not cells. Cells are living, viruses are not. Cells are also much larger in size - a virus to a cell could be roughly compared to a man standing next to the Empire State Building.
When body cells are attacked by viruses they produce what?
INTERFERON is a substance produced by body cells when they are attacked by viruses.
Are viruses made out of a cell or cells?
well viruses are caused by bacteria and bacteria are cells. so yes
