There is a lot of debate over whether a virus is truly alive; however, in general, a single virus is generally referred to as a particle rather than a cell.

Where can I get a Drawing of a virus cell?
No where. A virus is not a cell.
What does a cell and virus have in common?
What a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.
Which is smaller a cell or virus?
A virus.
Which component of a virus is lacking in a cell?
Both a living cell and a virus contain nucleic acid. The virus has a capsid, whereas a living cell does not.
What provides energy for an virus?
A virus does not have a metabolism. To reproduce, a virus takes control of a living cell, forcing the cell to make copies of the virus. All energy is provided by the cell.
Why is the virus eukaryote cell?
It has no nucleus, though technically a virus is not a cell at all.
The cell a virus lives on or in is called?
A virus will replicate within a host cell.
How does a host living cell face with an enemy virus?
A virus and a cell have to have matching "docking" proteins for the virus to invade. Otherwise the virus is blocked.
How does a virus affect humans?
A virus affects humans by invading a cell. The virus then forces the cell to produce viral material rather than cell material. This causes the cell to replicate the virus rather than itself.
What is a nonliving particle that invades a cell?
a virus
Why is the cell invaded by the virus called a host cell?
A cell invaded by a virus is known as the 'host cell', as it 'hosted' the virus with shelter and food.
What cell is smaller a virus cell a bacteria cell or a yeast cell?
The YEAST cell is by far the biggest cell out of a BACTERIUM and a VIRUS.... I know this 'cos it was on my science homework and 'cos i found it on another website which gave me the urge to put it here since the question hadn't been answered....x
