Viruses are not made of cells, cannot maintain homeostasis on their own, do not grow and develop in the same sense as living organisms, but they can respond to stimuli (in a limited way), obtain and use materials and energy when inside a host cell, and produce offspring (replicate) inside a host cell. Bacteria, protists, plants, animals, and fungi are all living organisms and possess all the characteristics such as being made of cells, maintaining homeostasis, growing and developing, responding to stimuli, obtaining and using materials and energy, and producing offspring.
