Brief Explanations

Cells are living entities that can reproduce independently through processes like mitosis or meiosis. Viruses are non - living infectious agents that lack the machinery to reproduce on their own and need a host cell to replicate. Viruses and cells both contain proteins, neither viruses have flagella nor cells have only cilia, and cell membranes are made of lipids and proteins, not nucleic acids.

Answer:

Cells reproduce independently, viruses require a host to reproduce.
