Unlike living things a virus does not make or use genetic material such as DNA. Viruses do not create their own DNA.
First things first a virus is not living. The virus injects its Genetic material (G.M. for short) and and makes the bacteria make more viruses.
Living things are alive.
The virus, prion and viroid don't meet the definition of alive which is:Movement: All living things move in some way.Respiration: Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens within cells to release energy from food.Sensitivity: The ability to detect changes in the environment.Growth: All living things grow.Reproduction: The ability to reproduce and pass genetic information onto their offspring.Excretion: Getting rid of waste.Nutrition: The intake and use of nutrients.All living things do all of these things. Viruses make use of living cells.
Reproduction.
1. they don't have cells, virus is a chunk of nucleic acid with a protein coat. 2. most viruses are destructive and they reproduce inside living things.
No. They are bacteria. Viruses are non-living particles. They make you sick by landing on a living cell, reproducing using the cell, and then destroying the cell. The new viruses do the same. Bacteria are living single-celled organisms. The few that make you sick (about 1/15 of bacteria are pathogenic, meaning make you sick) make you sick by taking the nutrients out of other living cells. So, technically, since bacteria and viruses are completely different things, I don't think there's a such thing as a bacterial virus as one organism
viruses do not grow, take in food, or make waste living cell make waste, take in food, grow
Living things reproduce.
Viruses are nonliving. They hijacked the DNA of the host cell and make the host cell produce the proteins and other things they need. Since they are not living they do not need food.
a virus can ony reproduce inside a living cell that surves as a host. A Host is living thing that a virus or parasite lives on or in . Using a host's cell as a tiny factory , the virus forces the host to make viruses rather than healthy new cells.
It is not. HIV is a virus. It has a completely different make-up from a bacteria. The most important difference between a bacteria and a virus is that a virus does not have the ability to replicate on its own. It needs a host, another cell, to reproduce, unlike bacteria which can reproduce on their own.
the fact that they are alive
