Understanding Viruses
Viruses are fundamentally different from cells; they are not alive and lack the cellular structures necessary for independent survival. Instead, they consist of genetic material encased in a protective coat, relying entirely on host cells for replication. Upon accessing a host cell, viruses can insert their genetic material and hijack the cell's machinery to reproduce, ultimately leading to the destruction of the host cell. This parasitic nature of viruses highlights the intricate relationship they have with living organisms, where they can cause harm while also serving essential functions in the ecosystem.
