WHY do viruses reproduce in the living cell?
to divide themselves
Why scientist believe that virus are not living organisms?
viruses do not grow, and viruses do not respond to changes in their environment. Therefore, viruses are not living organisms. All living things reproduce, but Viruses need living cells to reproduce because Viruses cannot reproduce by themselves.
Does a virus use sexual reproduction?
Viruses cannot reproduce themselves alone. They inject their DNA into living cells of a host organism. The virus cells use the host cells to develop themselves and leave the cell when ready. Viruses are not living, so they are dependent on a living organism for reproduction.
What structure differentiates from a bacteria?

Can viruses can reproduce by themselves?
No. Viruses must invade a host cell and hijack its resources to replicate itself.
Are Viruses able to reproduce without using other organisms?
viruses are dormant when they are not inside a living cell. that means they don't have living characteristics when outside a living cell. they only reproduce when they are inside a living cell.

What is a difference between bacteria and viruses shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses are nit?
Part of the definition of a living thing is that it can reproduce itself, which a virus can't do. Bacteria reproduce like any other cellular organism: by cellular division. Viruses, however, can not reproduce themselves. Instead, they infect other cells and force those to make more viruses.
How do viruses reprodce?
Viruses called Worms can reproduce by copying themselves into other files. They can also attach to emails and filesharing. There tricky and harmful to any computer.
Can viruses kill cells?
Yes. Viruses' only aim is to reproduce; if they invade a cell and are not killed off, they will continue replicating themselves until the cell bursts.
What are reasons viruses are considered non living?
Two very important reasons are growth and reproduction. Viruses do not have a way of converting potential energy, or photonic energy, into useful forms; no metabolism. Viruses can not reproduce on their own and must hijack a cell's reproductive machinery to reproduce themselves.

What can viruses reprouduce?
