What do viruses eat?
Viruses do not technically "eat" in the same way that living organisms do. Instead, they rely on host cells to replicate and reproduce. Once inside a host cell, a virus will hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of itself.
What kingdom is influenza in?
Viruses are classified differently than living organisms, since they are not technically alive. In taxonomy, viruses are not assigned to a Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, or Order. The influenza viruses start, in most classification systems, at the level of the Family. They are in the Family of Orthomyxoviridae. There are a few newer classification systems that have been developed to better categorize and classify viruses, but these are not yet the standard.
What kingdoms are viruses in?
Viruses are not considered to be part of any of the traditional biological kingdoms (Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, etc.). They are typically classified in a separate group known as the kingdom Viruses or under domain as Obligate Intracellular Parasites.
What domain is virus?
Viruses are classified under the domain of "Riboviria," which includes viruses with RNA genomes. Viruses are not considered to be living organisms because they cannot replicate or carry out metabolic processes on their own and require a host cell to reproduce.
Why is it difficult to classify viruses into one of the 5 kingdoms of living organisms?
Viruses lack the characteristics of living organisms, such as cellular structure and metabolism, making it challenging to classify them within the traditional system of biological classification. Additionally, viruses are considered obligate intracellular parasites that can only replicate inside host cells, further complicating their classification within the existing kingdom system.
