yes it is
Viruses
They arent alive
The cell theory applies to all living cells, including those found in plants, animals, fungi, and single-celled organisms. It states that all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms, and all cells come from pre-existing cells.
Nonliving things are not made of cells.
Yes, viruses hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate themselves, eventually causing the cell to burst and release new viruses. This process, known as lysis, results in the death of the host cell.
Viruses
Viruses are not considered part of the cell theory because they are acellular entities that require a host cell to replicate.
The cell theory applies to all organisms.
The first cell did not come from a preexisting cell and viruses
They arent alive
only in a host cell
How can we apply the cell theory to better understand living and non living things

No. Cell theory is the idea that all living things are made of cells. Glaciers are not alive and do not have cells, so cell theory does not apply in any way whatsoever.
Not to virus because they are not life forms!
They are hijackers. 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 particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They cannot make more viruses on their own.
Nonliving things are not made of cells.
