Detailed explanation-1: -They do not possess ribosomes and cannot independently form proteins from molecules of messenger RNA. Because of these limitations, viruses can replicate only within a living host cell. Therefore, viruses are obligate intracellular parasites.
Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses are small and relatively simple microbes that cannot grow outside of living cells, that is, they are obligate intracellular parasites (Figure 1).
Detailed explanation-3: -On a biological level, the main difference is that bacteria are free-living cells that can live inside or outside a body, while viruses are a non-living collection of molecules that need a host to survive.
Detailed explanation-4: -Viruses use the machinery of the host cells to reproduce. They do not have cell organelles such as Golgi complex, mitochondria, lysosomes, ribosomes etc. hence, they cannot reproduce or live separately. Therefore they are called obligatory intercellular parasites.
Detailed explanation-5: -The chlamydiae are a small group of nonmotile coccoid bacteria that are obligate intracellular parasites of eukaryotic cells.
