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.

No. Since a virus is not alive, there can be no homeostasis in it.

How does a cold virus disrupt homeostasis in the body?

Why is a virus not cosidered a living cell?

Virus are typically not considered to be alive because they are not composed of cells, do not maintain their environment (homeostasis), cannot reproduce on their own, and they don't exactly grow or develop. The characteristics of life are: Homeostasis (maintaining a relatively constant inner-environment, e.g., your body temperature) Being composed of cells Being able to metabolize energy Growth Adaptation to environment Responding to stimuli Reproduction
