Does a virus interact with their environment?

No, viruses do not interact with their environment in the same way that living organisms do. They do not respond to stimuli or exhibit behavior. Viruses are simply infectious agents that require a host cell to replicate.


Is there homeostasis in a virus?

No viruses do not have homeostasis. They have no cellular activities because they are not made of cells. Viruses do not respond or adapt to the environment. Any changes in the viruses are brought about by the host cells that make the new copies of the virus. When science says that viruses evolve, it is really the host cell that makes the changes in the virus. So the virus type accumulates these changes, but it doesn't make the changes itself.

Which kingdom do viruses belong?

Viruses do not belong to any kingdom. There is an ongoing debate to whether viruses are alive or not. With the facts given, it is up to you to decide if viruses are alive or not. All Living things: -are composed of cells with a complex, organized structure -actively maintain their complex structure and internal environment (homeostasis) -respond to stimuli in their environment -acquire and use materials and energy from their environment and convert them into new forms -reproduce, using the molecular blueprint of DNA -have the capacity to evolve Viruses: -are not made of cells and do not have cells -cannot accomplish the basic tasks of living cells -have no ribosomes to make protein -have no cytoplasm -cannot acquire energy or steal the host's energy -cannot grow or reproduce by themselves or with other viruses -do not respond to stimuli -cannot maintain a stable internal environment -can evolve


Are viruses treated with antibiotics?

Can a virus sense?

No, viruses do not have the capacity to sense their environment or respond to stimuli in the way that living organisms can. They are simply genetic material that relies on host cells to replicate and spread.
