Main difference is that viruses can only reproduce by hijacking living cells. No cells, no viral reproduction. It rewires the cell to produce more copies of itself, then makes the cell self-destruct sending out the copies. Cellular reproduction is in a category of its own.

A virus does not eat, it merely makes use of the biochemical resources of a cell that it infects, acting in effect as a false cell nucleus.

What happens to the viral nucleic acid once it is inside the cell?
Two possible phases may occur. In a lytic phase, the viral DNA commands the reproduction of numerous more viral copies. Upon the production of a sufficient population of viruses within the cell's membrane, the virus break the cell membrane, destroying the cell The lysogenic phase occurs when the viral nucleic acid is incorporated into the cellular genome. Then the cell reproduces as a hybrid cell, also reproducin the viral nucleic acid. This phase is less harmful to the host cell, while it still allows for the onset of the lytic phase. In other words: Lytic phase: more virus bodies and cellular destruction Lysogenic phase: Viral genome is integrated into cellular DNA and reproduced by regular division. Cell is not necesarily harmed but could still result in Lytic phase.
What is the difference between viral and a bacteria infection?
As simple as that a viral infection is caused by a virus and a bacterial infection is caused by a bacteria.

Do viruses produce cellular proteins?
Viruses do produce cellular proteins that are necessary for viral synthesis.
A computer model can simulate the aspects of viral reproduction quite well however microscopic observation of actual viral reproduction can improve understanding because actual observations?
May provide reproductions events on a squence
What is the viral reproduction cycle that kills quickly?
the Lytic Cycle
What is the purpose of the lytic pathway?
Viral reproduction. See more in the related questions below.
What is the difference between viral and a bacteria infection?
As simple as that a viral infection is caused by a virus and a bacterial infection is caused by a bacteria.
What life processes can a virus do in a living cell?
Replication of self using materials and energy of the invaded living cell ("reproduction"), along with viral mutations.
How are viral infections diagnosed?
Viral Infections are diagnosed by the presence of the immune systems production of antibodies, viral fighting cells produced specifically for that specific virus.
What is the most common threat to a host organism when a viruse invades?
destruction of cells by viral reproduction .
Which stage of viral reproduction takes place when the DNA and capsids are assembled together?
The maturation stage
The severity of a viral infection is linked to?
Over- nourished . Viruses depend on a healthy cell for reproduction.
