Viruses depend on living things for what?

Viruses are not living. They do not metabolize to produce energy. They do not grow, produce waste products, or respond to stimuli. They do not reproduce independently, but depend on another living cell.

Yes, all living things have one or more cells. (Note: viruses are not usually considered to be living things, only genetic parasites that depend on the cells of living things as their hosts).

Living things metabolize. Viruses do not

Viruses aren't considered to be alive because they depend on a host cell for energy and reproduction.

Bacteria are considered to be living but viruses are not.

Surely viruses are living things!

viruses do not grow, and viruses do not respond to changes in their environment. Therefore, viruses are not living organisms. All living things reproduce, but Viruses need living cells to reproduce because Viruses cannot reproduce by themselves.

viruses is a non living particle that reproduce in living cell

They are not: viruses are indeed living things!

They depend on other living things for food,shelter, protection, and nourishment

non-living thing

how do living things depend on one another

living things depend on nonliving thing cause nonliving things are decomposers

viruses can also move like living organism

I think all living things depend on the sun.

Viruses live off of living cells. Living cells have their own source of proteins and things for survival. Viruses particles are composed of protein coat, and the capsid.

Living things need to eat. Living things eat non-living things, and excrete their waste, leaving seeds to grow into new plants and/or trees. That's how they depend on each other. Non-living things depend on living things to eat them so they can reproduce in their excrete.

Viruses are not made of cells.

Viruses are not living things. Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own they can do nothing until they enter a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things.

The difference is that viruses are smaller than bacteria. One more major difference is that bacteria are living things whereas viruses are non living things.

Yes, but only some living things depend on non living things. For example, An Deer usually depends on plants and fruit and plants.

Several was living things and non living thing depend on each other because non living things help the living things in this world.

We depend on non living things for a source food, they depend on us well in a sense we look after them as stewards of the earth.

Viruses are not considered alive because they dont have many of the charaistics that scientists have with living things

what are three ways that living things depend on microorganisms for survival

According to the Kingdoms of Life, viruses are living organisms. Viruses consist of Bacteria, and bacteria is alive, therefore viruses are alive.

Viruses are able to reproduce/replicate like other living things. They also need to have an optimal environment in order to survive.

Roughly, the basic principle is that a "living things" can reproduce through cell division and "non-living things" cannot. For example, bacteria can procreate on its own, while viruses cannot. Viruses have to come into contact with the cells of living things to have their genome duplicated and multiply.

Yes. Viruses are living things too.

Nucleic acids and proteins which are present in living things are also present in viruses. Viruses also have the ability to reproduce when inside living organisms.

viruses are nonliving things. but they need living things to reproduces. so live

Heterotrophs .

A virus is an extremely small cell. You can have big cells and little cells. Viruses aren't considered to be alive because they depend on a host cell for energy and reproduction.

Bacteria and viruses are small and can only be seen through a microscope. The small living things are microorganisms or microbes. Some people do not think viruses are living things because they are acellular particles. They consider them to be an organic structure that interacts with living organisms.

Reproduction

Everything that are living are living organisms. Every other things are not considered to be a living organism e.g. viruses.

Yes they can only reproduce inside of living things.

Viruses are considered as a link between living organisms and non-living things because they contain nucleic acids (DNA & RNA) enveloped by a protein coat like living organisms also they have a crystalline form out of the living tissues like non-living things

Yes, all living things depend on non-living things. For example: - A plant requires sunlight, soil and water, all non-living things. - An animal requires a habitat, so rocks, dirt, etc. which are non-living things. Even if the animal did not depend on these things, it would still need to eat other animals or plants and plants need non-living things to survive.

Non living things doesn't depend on livivng thing. Living thing depends on non living things like wood steel blocks air water etc they help us to live alive

Viruses are things that spread and contain germs. An Organism is a living thing.

viruses cannot reproduce by them self ,they did not eat food. they can not grow

Viruses do not grow, metabolize, or have internal feedback. Therefore, viruses are not considered living organisms.

Water because most living things depend on it.

they depend on rain to give them water and them to find food

The smallest living things depend on how a living thing is defined. Some biologists do not believe viruses are living organisms because there are no free living forms (all are parasitic) and because they must reply on their host for reproduction. Others believe that, despite this, they have an existence of their own separate to the host and are subject to natural selection and are therefore alive. If you accept viruses are not alive, the…

The union of two living things that depend on each other is co-dependence.

Viruses, though nonliving, have characteristics of living things.

Viruses aren't living, and are the only non-living organisms, and bacteria are prokaryotes, meaning they don't have a defined nucleus.

birds depend on the saguaro
