they dont make their own proteins because they dont have ribosomes. they also use the host cells proteins to survive; meaning if the cell dies, they die with it.

Viruses don't make their own proteins because they are not cells. A virus is a nucleic acid enclosed in a protein coat, and does not contain organelles.
