Final answer:

Viruses are acellular entities that rely on host cells' metabolic machinery for replication.


Explanation:

Viruses are acellular entities, lacking cellular organelles, and are considered obligate intracellular parasites, relying on host cells for replication. They lack metabolic machinery and must use the host cell's metabolic machinery to replicate and assemble new viral components. Replication of viruses involves utilizing the host cell's ribosomes, enzymes, and other components to produce new copies.
