They both require a host cell to reproduce and they are both types of viruses
The lysogynistic cycle where they insert their DNA/RNA into the hosts genetic material for many rounds of their own replication along with the hosts replication.
temperate viruses
The Lytic Cycle or by Budding without lysis. See the related questions below for more information.

Viruses attach to cells of a host (humans, other living organisms). This is how they reproduce and cannot live without a host. They either go into a lytic cycle where they just keep reproducing by using the cell of the host (it is kind of like hacking, and making the cell work for them). viruses can also go into lysogenic cycle where they just stay in the cell undetected until they decide they want to go into lytic cycle and reproduce.
Bacteria: Bacteria can be killed by antibiotics. Bacteria is larger. Bacteria can reproduce from the life cycle. Viruses: Viruses cant be killed by antibiotics. Viruses are smaller than bacteria. Viruses cant reproduce without help from a host cell or organism.
Viruses can reproduce by either the lytic cycle, which involves the virus taking over the host cell to replicate itself and destroy the cell in the process, or through the lysogenic cycle, where the viral DNA is integrated into the host cell's DNA and can remain dormant until triggered to replicate.
a host Cell
Yes, viruses require a host in order to reproduce. They cannot replicate on their own and rely on infecting a host cell to reproduce and spread.
Viruses cannot reproduce themselves alone. They inject their DNA into living cells of a host organism. The virus cells use the host cells to develop themselves and leave the cell when ready. Viruses are not living, so they are dependent on a living organism for reproduction.
viruses are dormant when they are not inside a living cell. that means they don't have living characteristics when outside a living cell. they only reproduce when they are inside a living cell.
