What we need to understand is, viruses do not have its own synthetic machinery such as ribosomes to make proteins. Hence they are completely dependent on the host synthetic machinery for their replication. Virus infects the host cells, integrate its genetic material with the host to produce progeny viral particles.

What is a virus called outside a host cell?
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
What is outside a living cell virus?
faeces
Is flu virus a living thing or non-living ting?
The flu virus is considered a non-living thing. It is a microscopic particle that requires a host cell to replicate and survive.
How are bacteria different from viruses?
viruses are not alive. APEX
What does a virus need in order to survive?
A virus needs a host cell to survive and replicate. Once inside a host cell, the virus can hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of itself. Without a host cell, viruses cannot survive for long periods outside of a living organism.
Can a virus live outside a cell?
No
What would happen to a virus that never came in contact with a living cell-?
Since a virus can only replicate on a living cell, host cell, it wouldn't be able to reproduce.
What is a virus called outside a host cell?
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
How do virus breathe?
Viruses do not breathe because they are not living organisms. They are considered particles that need a host cell to replicate and survive. Once a virus infects a host cell, it uses the cell’s machinery to replicate itself.
What is outside a living cell virus?
faeces
What does a virus replicate?
your cell
Do viruses only reproduce within one cell?
Virus cannot replicate themselves. They should enter a living cell
A virus cannot grow or respond to outside stimuli?
Correct. A virus is considered non-living because it cannot grow or respond to stimuli on its own. It requires a host cell to replicate and carry out its functions.
Is flu virus a living thing or non-living ting?
The flu virus is considered a non-living thing. It is a microscopic particle that requires a host cell to replicate and survive.
Explain why a virus might exist for years and only become active once it comes into contact with a living cell?
A virus can remain dormant for years because it is not a living organism and does not have the ability to replicate on its own. Once it comes into contact with a living cell, the virus can hijack the cell's machinery to replicate itself and cause an infection. The activation of the virus is triggered by specific signals or conditions present in the host cell.
How are bacteria different from viruses?
viruses are not alive. APEX
The cell a virus lives on or in is called?
A virus will replicate within a host cell.
