Experts please explain why viruses are also microscopic but they are different from other microorganisms

Dear Student

Viruses are ultramicroscopic organism that are visible only through electron microscope. They are smaller than bacteria. They cannot reproduce by their own as they lack the required machinery for replication. Therefore, they need to infect a host cell. The virus gets inside the host cells and makes hundred and thousands of copies of itself by using the host machinery.

This makes viruses different from other organisms.
