Viruses are a unique group of biological entities. 1. They are not capable of surviving without a host cell (lack metabolic machinery). 2. They do, however, contain all the information necessary to direct metabolic processes. What is a Virus?. Very small . Non-living particle. Made up of nucleic acid. . and proteins.
