Unlike organisms, viruses are not cellular, nor do they have ribosomes or any other organelles for protein production, energy generation, etc. They cannot capture or store free energy but can only use energy derived from their host. Also, viruses can only reproduce via the host and not on their own.
What else can I help you with?
Viruses unlike bacteria are not composed of?
CELLS :)

What is the largest cell number in viruses?
viruses are unicellular organisms
How are real viruses unlike computer viruses?
a computer virues afects your computer and a virues afects you
Are viruses considered microbes?
Yes, viruses are considered microbes because they are microscopic organisms that are capable of causing infections in living organisms.
What are the differances viruses and bacteria?
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms
What are 'prokaryotic organisms' What are some examples?
Bacteria and viruses are examples of prokaryotic organisms.
Is it true that viruses have complex membranes that control what moves in and out of their cells?
Viruses do not have complex membranes like eukaryotic organisms have. Viruses also do not have cells, nor are they technically living organisms. There is no need for viruses to control the movement of material in and out of the viral particles.
Why are viruses unlike other organisms?
Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive. They are nonliving. They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dogs coat. They are hitch hikers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These parts can assemble into more viruses and then they breakout of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. Other organisms don't do this.
Should viruses be consideres living organisms?
No viruses should not be considered living organisms because they require a host to live &therefore are not an organism but an infestation.
What are the differences between properties of viruses and properties of organisms?
viruses are on the borderline of living and non living while organisms are living, viruses are simple structured, they have a DNA strand surrounded by a protein coat and sometimes a tail while organisms consist of complex cells
How are viruses and organisms different?
Viruses are things that spread and contain germs. An Organism is a living thing.
