Virus is not a cell. Virus are non-living things basicallybecause 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.

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.

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