2. Virus is not a cell. Virus are non-living things basically
because it does not have the things required to be a cell,
as they do not even have the common cell parts-like
nucleus and cytoplasm. A virus is not even considered an
organism. And unlike cells that can go through mitosis –
a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells ,
each the same as a parent cell.

3. What Does a Virus
Look Like?
A virus has many
different shapes and
sizes. Some look like
a hairy ball, while
others look like long
porcupines. The
picture on top is a
H1N1 virus while the
one below is a AIDS
virus. Notice their
unique shape.

4.  A virus does not, I repeat does not qualify as a cell.
