The cell is the basic unit of all living things, and viruses which are generally not considered living but have the ability to infect cells.
Describe how the structure of a virus compares to the structure of a cell. You should explain (not list) at least two similarities and two differences between features of cells and viruses including a brief explanation of the function of those structures.
Explain why viruses need cells.

Given these observations and what you know about viruses, should viruses be considered living or nonliving?
