Virus: is a strand of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coating that can infect and multiply in a host cell.
Host Cell: a living cell invaded by or capable of being invaded by an infectious agent.
Bateria are made of cells APEX~:)
The main difference is that viruses rely on a host cell's machinery to replicate their genetic material, while cells have their own machinery to replicate their DNA. Viruses insert their genetic material into a host cell and hijack its replication machinery, whereas cells replicate their DNA through processes like DNA polymerase and cellular organelles.
One key difference between viruses and plant cells is that viruses are acellular and cannot replicate independently; they require a host cell to reproduce, while plant cells are complex, living organisms capable of photosynthesis and metabolic processes. Additionally, viruses consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat, lacking cellular structures, whereas plant cells have a defined structure, including a cell wall, chloroplasts, and organelles that perform specific functions.
The main primary difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that the prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. The eukaryotic cells are also larger than the prokaryotic cells.
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells

Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to.
Viruses are replication parasites that can do nothing until they take over a living cell. Bacteria are living cells.
Only Bacteria can reproduce outside of a host.. Bacteria are made of cells
Bacteria are not dependent on a host. :)
Viruses destroy computers,BUT Anti-Viruses destroy viruses.
Yes there is a difference. Viruses are non-living and cells are living This is because Viruses can't reproduce on their own without a host. They don't have a metabolism like cells. They can't maintain homeostasis. They cannot synthesize proteins (they lack the ribosomes to do so) without a host. Without a host viruses can neither generate nor store ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Viruses cannot live unless they have a host.
What is the difference between cylindrical and prismatic battery cells?

Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.
viruses dont have cells
