Compare Virus to a plant cell.?

Question

I'm taking bio next year and we have to do a summer assignment before school starts.

One question I can't seem to answer that well is comparing a virus to a plant cell. What are the differences between a virus and a plant cell.

It would be great if you could be as descriptive as you can. Thanks, best answer for most accurate and descriptive.

Answer 1

There is no similarity between a virus and any kind of cell.

Viruses are considered to live in a kind of twilight zone between the living and the non living. This is because they do not have a cellular structure and are non living when outside a host.. Even when they enter a host cell, they do not produce any energy and they do not grow. The just clone themselves with energy from the host. They exist as DNA surrounded by protein. They hve no uses. All of them are harmful. They largest is 0.2 and the smallest 0.015 micrometers.

A plant cell is a living thing with cell wall, cell membrane, vacuoles, plastids, etc. The smallest plant cell is 0.2 micro meters in dimeter

Answer 2

Any virus is not comparable to any cell. Viruses are vectors, cells are elementary  parts of organisms (or whole organisms). Most descriptive is your handbook. READ MORE!!!!!
