Answer 2

Viruses are non-living infectious particles, much smaller than a cell and need a living host to reproduce.

Explanation:

• Nonliving characteristics include the fact that they are not cells, have no cytoplasm or cellular organelles and carry out no metabolism on their own and therefore must replicate using the host cell's metabolic machinery.
• Viruses can infect animals, plants and even other microorganisms.
• Viruses are considered non- living due to following characteristics:
• They lack metabolic activity outside the living cells.
• They lack cellular organisation, once they infect a cell they take over the machinery of the host cell to replicate themselves.
