That would depend how strictly you defined the term cytoplasm. Cytoplasm consists of many different components, each differing in a different context. That sounds confusing so I'll give it to you in an example, the "cytoplasm" in a cell differs in content of the "cytoplasm" in the nucleus of a cell. Assuming the most general meaning (cytoskeletal filaments that make up that textbook picture of a clear jelly-like substance, which by the way is not an accurate depiction of true cytoplasm in any academic context), then viruses will generally not have any cytoplasm.
The closest they come is the herpes virus, with a outer membrane layer bounding a cluster of proteins surrounding an inner capsid layer. The cluster of proteins can be somewhat seen as a viral "cytoplasm" but I doubt many others would agree given cytoplasm's classical meaning.
No
Viruses are non-living entities that require a host cell to replicate, while eukaryotes are living organisms with complex cells containing a nucleus. Eukaryotes can carry out cellular processes independently, while viruses rely on host cells for reproduction. Viruses lack cellular structures and organelles found in eukaryotic cells.
Cell Wall, as in plants. The cell membrane is actually inside of the cell wall. Under Microscopy one can observe the cell membrane pulling away from the cell wall in instances of dehydration.
Viruses lack the cellular structure and independent metabolism typically found in living organisms. They can only replicate inside a host cell by hijacking the cell's machinery. This unique mode of reproduction blurs the line between living and non-living entities, making viruses challenging to classify definitively.
Viruses are considered non-living because they cannot carry out metabolic processes on their own and do not possess structures for cellular respiration or self-replication. They must infect a host cell to replicate and rely on the host cell's machinery to reproduce.
Living
The cell membrane is considered non-living, as it is composed of lipids and proteins that do not have the characteristics of living organisms, such as the ability to reproduce or metabolize. It acts as a barrier that separates the cell from its environment and helps regulate the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
Viruses are not alive. They are infectious particles. They hijack a living cell's DNA and force it to make viruses parts instead of living cell parts. The cell is made to assemble to parts and the new viruses bust out of the cell, killing it, and infect more cells.
Viruses are considered non-living because they do not meet all the criteria for life. While they can replicate and evolve, they lack cellular structure, the ability to metabolize nutrients, and cannot reproduce on their own. Viruses depend on host cells to replicate and carry out their life cycle.
Viruses are considered non-living because they cannot carry out cellular activities on their own. They require a host cell to replicate and do not possess the ability to metabolize or grow.

Viruses are non-living just like a rock is. Since they are not cells, they can not be alive. However, they can "hijack" a living cell. They have either DNA or RNA which allows this hijacking to occur. By doing this, they can make the host cell make more viruses just like them. This causes the virus to spread.
Viruses are considered non-living because they cannot carry out metabolic processes on their own and need a host cell to replicate. However, they exhibit characteristics of living organisms such as the ability to evolve, reproduce (within a host cell), and contain genetic material (DNA or RNA).
Living organisms are made up of cells that have specific structures and functions, such as a nucleus and organelles. They are also capable of growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and metabolism. Non-living things do not possess these characteristics and are typically made up of simple molecules or structures without the ability to sustain life processes.
The lytic cycle involves a virus infecting a host cell, replicating within it, and causing the cell to burst open to release new viral particles. Since viruses lack cellular machinery and cannot reproduce on their own, they are considered non-living entities that rely on a host cell for replication. This dependency on a host cell is one of the key reasons why viruses are not classified as living organisms.
