Acellular particles can be defined as:

• Organisms that are not made up of cells or those that lack living cells.
• They lack cellular organization.
• They do not perform cell division or replicate by cell division.
• These particles or organisms behave like inert particles outside the host body and are thus considered non-living.
• Inside the host body, they replicate and perform functions similar to living organisms.
• Acellular organisms use host machinery to synthesis all their chemicals as well as to perform genome replication and assemble other chemicals.
• Example of acellular particles are: Viruses, Viroids, and Prions.
