Viruses
Viruses are very small microbes that are composed of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses by themselves are not consided living because they have no cytoplasm, internal metabolism, and cannot grow and divide. Viruses need another living organism call a host to carry out their reproductive life cycle. Once inside the living cell of another organism called a host they carry out their reproductive life cycle. Once inside the living cell of another organism, they use the machinery of the infected cell to produce viral parts.
