Students were asked to write a brief summary comparing and contrasting viruses and cells after their Biology lesson. Which of the following summaries is accurate?

• Viruses perform photosynthesis, while cells only store energy.

• Both viruses and eukaryotic cells have structures in place to protect their genetic information. They also both have nuclei acid. In contrast, viruses have capsid and eukaryotic cells.

• Cells and viruses are both made of cytoplasm and a nucleus, but viruses are smaller.

Absence of a membrane-bound nucleus.
