Answer 5

You have just learned about the characteristics of viruses, prokaryotic cells, and eukaryotic cells. Viruses are similar to cells, yet they are so different that they are not classified as living things. Write an essay that compares and contrasts the structure and function of viruses with all living cells.

this is what the teacher gave me

Answer 6

It sounds like you need more information than you're getting here, and I'd bet you need sources you can cite... I would suggest googling for "biology of viruses" or "virus living?" or "virus structure compare to cell structure" and perhaps seeing what your textbook says. It sounds from the question like that material was covered in the chapter - using that material would be easiest because you already have it in front of you!
