What distinguishes viruses from living cells?

• Viruses have a nucleus, while cells do not.

• Viruses can carry out metabolism, while cells cannot.

• Viruses lack cellular structure, metabolic processes, and need a host to replicate.

• Viruses have a cell wall, while cells do not.

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of viruses?

• They can replicate independently.

• They lack cellular structure.

• They require a host cell to replicate.

• They can cause diseases in living organisms.

Answer explanation

Viruses cannot replicate independently; they require a host cell to replicate and reproduce.
