Answer:

Virus are small infectious particles which act as intracellular parasites. They are considered non-living when they are present outside their host because they show no metabolism outside.  

They do not have even cellular level of organization and are basically just packages of nucleic acid and protein. Still, virus have some important features which are common with cell-based life like the presence of nucleic acid as their genetic material.  

Apart from the presence of genetic material they also have the ability to evolve like the cell-based life. This evolution allows them to be selected naturally and produce more offspring.

i believe that the cell will expand because there is less sugar in the water. if you were to add more sugar into the water, then the cell will shrink in size because sugar and salt is the same thing if you add it in water.
