The structure of a virus is fundamentally different from any other type of organism. Viruses are non-cellular entities that consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. They lack the essential components of living cells such as organelles and cellular machinery, and they cannot carry out metabolic processes or reproduce on their own. Viruses depend on host cells to replicate and can cause infections in various organisms.
