true
false
rewatch

Explanation:

Viruses are non - living entities outside a host cell. They lack the cellular machinery for metabolism and reproduction. When they enter a host cell, they hijack the host's cellular components (such as ribosomes, nucleotides, amino acids) to replicate their genetic material and produce viral proteins, which then assemble into new virus particles. Without a host cell, viruses cannot perform these essential life - like processes (reproduction in this context).

True
