Viruses are also microscopic but they are not considered as living beings. They are considered as a borderline case between living and non-living. A virus behaves as non-living when it is outside a host cell, i.e. a virus does not carry on nutrition, respiration or reproduction when it is outside a host. But once it is inside a host, it behaves like a living being, i.e. it carries on nutrition, respiration and reproduction when it is inside a host. Examples: HIV, Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), etc.
