Viruses are considered acellular entities because they are not composed of cells like living organisms. They are made up of genetic material (RNA or DNA) enclosed in a protein coat, and they require a host cell to replicate.
No, a virus is not a cell at all. It is neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic but can invade either in order to replicate itself. Viruses that invade prokaryotes are called bacteriophages.
Influenza virus is neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic. It is classified as a type of virus, which is considered non-living and contains genetic material (RNA or DNA) surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses are distinct from cellular organisms and do not fit into the categories of prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
Technically, plasma membrane is neither living nor dead. It is simply a structure of the simplest living organism, the cell. It is given command by the cell and acts accordingly, but it is not living, nor was it ever living.
Viruses do not have complex membranes like eukaryotic organisms have. Viruses also do not have cells, nor are they technically living organisms. There is no need for viruses to control the movement of material in and out of the viral particles.
Viruses are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes as they are not living cells and do not have cell structure. They are parasites of living cells.
No, viruses are not considered to be eukaryotes. They are non-cellular entities that lack many characteristics of living cells, such as the ability to carry out metabolic processes on their own. Instead, viruses rely on host cells to replicate and survive.
Virus is neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic. Viruses are not alive to begin with and therefore are not classified into a category

yes
Yes there is a difference. Viruses are non-living and cells are living This is because Viruses can't reproduce on their own without a host. They don't have a metabolism like cells. They can't maintain homeostasis. They cannot synthesize proteins (they lack the ribosomes to do so) without a host. Without a host viruses can neither generate nor store ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Viruses cannot live unless they have a host.
the living dead
Neither living stuff, nor water, nor atmosphere, is necessary in order to have volcanoes.
When living things can neither adapt nor relocate when a change occurs, it is likely that large numbers of the species or group will die.
Viruses are not classified into a kingdom because they lack the characteristics of living organisms such as the ability to replicate on their own and carry out metabolic processes. They are considered acellular entities that depend on host cells to reproduce.

Yogurt is neither a vertebrate nor an invertebrate, as it is not a living organism.
