What is the difference between reproduction cycles of viruses and reproduction cycles of living things?

Viruses don't have their own metabolism so they simply can't reproduce without a cell. That's why they are obligatory parasites. Living cells, on the other hand, can channel some of their metabolic energy to reproduce themselves, without having to take over something else's metabolism to do so, like viruses invariably have to.

What are the difference between reproduction by the lytic and lysogenic cycles?
After the viral multiplication cycle in the lytic cycle, the host cell dies. The host cell does not 'die' in the lysogenic cycle.
What all sexual lifes cycles have in common?
reproduction
What is the difference between cpm and rpm?
If the abbreviations stand for cycles per minute and revolutions per minute, there is no difference.
Do Active viruses enter a cell and immediatley begin to multiply?
The easiest way to understand how viruses replicate is to study the life cycles of viruses called bacteriophages (bacteria eaters). Bacteriophages replicate by either a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle. The difference in these two cycles is that the cell dies at the end of the lytic cycle or the cell remains in the lysogenic cycle. The virus remains "hidden".
What is the difference between nitrogen and carbon cycles?
The cycling of carbon between the atmosphere, land, water, and organisms. But the nitrogen is between the environment and organisms.
What are the names of the cycles of a plants life?
The life cycle of plants may be of two types. Sexual cycle of reproduction and Asexual cycle of reproduction.
What are the names of the cycles of a plant's life?
The life cycle of plants may be of two types. Sexual cycle of reproduction and Asexual cycle of reproduction.
What is the difference between instruction cycle and machine cycle?
an instruction cycle may consist of a number of machine cycles.

Marburg virus lytic or lysogenic?
There is a specific difference between the 2 cycles. In the Lytic cycle, the virus DNA/RNA remains separate from the Host's DNA. In the Lysogenic cycle, the virus DNA/RNA is incorporated (combined) into the host's DNA. Any virus injects its DNA into a host's cell. No matter what, in both cycles, the host cell ends up bursting and releasing the viruses. The Marburg virus incubates (grows) inside a host's cell, usually from 5-7 days, but can range from 3-10 days overall. It also produces new viruses which release into the organism (in this case, the human or primate). The Marburg Virus goes through both lytic and lysogenic cycles.
When a virus takes over a cell what part of the virus takes over the cells functions?
The easiest way to understand how viruses replicate is to study the life cycles of viruses called bacteriophages (bacteria eaters). Bacteriophages replicate by either a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle. The difference in these two cycles is that the cell dies at the end of the lytic cycle or the cell remains in the lysogenic cycle. The virus remains "hidden".
What is the reproduction of a proboscis monkey?
The male Proboscis Monkey is not only one of the largest monkeys in Asia but they are also one of the Proboscis Monkey Reproduction and Life Cycles.
