Why do viruses consider to be non living?
They don't, for the most part, that is. Scientists argue over whether or not viruses are alive because some believe that they have all the qualities you need to be considered alive, which are.... * They reproduce * They obtain and use energy * They grow and develop * They respond to the environment The only thing that is different is that they cannot use their genetic material on their own. They need a host, a cell, to reproduce. So therefore, scientists continue to argue on whether viruses are alive, or not. :D
Why do scientists consider viruses to be non living?
Because they can not reproduce on their own.
Are all viruses living?
Viruses are not alive in the first place, so no.
Are viruses a living cell?
No, they are not alive at all.
Why are viruses not classified into any five kingdom?
Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive.
Why do some scientists say that viruses are not alive?
Some scientists think that viruses are not living organisms due to how simple they are. Viruses are usually nothing more than a strand of genetic coding with a protein coat. This makes them far more simpler than the simplest of organisms that use the standard cell structure which is rather complex.
What is a statement that scientists believe to be true in all cases?
law
Do scientist consider viruses to be living?
What viruses do is they are not living, so they use the cell's life to 'reproduce'. They take all of the cell's nutrition and use that to multiply. Then the cell is dead, and the viruses go on to take over more cells.
Why scientists does not believe in god?
Not all Scientists are unbelievers. But some people can not take it on faith alone that there is a God.
Why scientist believe that virus are not living organisms?
Well, honey, scientists don't believe viruses are living organisms because they lack the ability to carry out essential life processes on their own. They can't reproduce without hijacking a host cell, so they're more like freeloaders than independent living beings. It's like calling a computer virus a living thing just because it can mess up your day.
Do some scientists believe in sun spots?
They all believe in sun spots, as they are a naturally observable phenomenon.
Why is a virus considered alive and a rock is not?
Very good question. Viruses are not considered alive by many (I might even go as far as to say most scientists wouldn't consider viruses alive, but I'd have to ask more of them first to be sure). Neither is a rock! Those that think viruses are alive are, as you have said, suggesting pretty much anything in the world can be considered alive. If a virus is alive, then by folding a piece of paper into a paper aeroplane I have created life. A paper plane alive? Absurd! Ridiculous really isn't it? Viruses aren't alive. They're just molecules that happen to react in a certain way to seem alive to anyone that hasn't studied a biological natural science for several years. But once you understand what happens on atomic and molecular scales, you realise they're not alive at all. No different from a molecule of glucose. It goes is, something is done to it, and it comes out. The only reason a Virus would be considered alive is because they are structured in such a way as to allow them to be reproduced, and contain proteins with the ability to influence the chemical machinery of cells in other living things.
