Assuming you mean prokaryotic cells... Many viruses replicate use DNA or RNA in their genetic structure. Prokaryotic cells replicate by translating their DNA into RNA and then transferring it back into DNA. Many viruses hook into this system and use the prokaryotic replication to make copies of their own DNA or RNA.

Otherwise, many viruses replicate within prokaryotic cells in a parasitic relationship, using the genetic material, energy and parts of the cell to replicate their own genetic material and multiply or just to hide until they are ready to replicate.

Which cell is bigger virus eukaryotic cell prokaryotic cell proteins lipids?

The eukaryotic cell is typically larger in size compared to a prokaryotic cell or a virus. Eukaryotic cells have a more complex structure with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells are smaller and lack a nucleus, while viruses are much smaller and are considered non-living entities that require a host cell to reproduce. Proteins and lipids are essential components found in all types of cells, serving various functions such as structure, signaling, and energy storage.

How is a virus different from eukaryote?

A virus is considers a prokaryotic cell which only contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm and the DNA scattered in the cytoplasm. It is also a few times smaller than an eukaryotic cell which mostly contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm and a nucleus that contains the DNA.
