Viruses aren't considered to be alive because they depend on a host cell for energy and reproduction.
Neither, viruses are unique to themselves and don't belong to any classification of life. Viruses are not considered living things because they do not perform all the functions of life therefore they are considered organic particles.
Yes. Viruses are living things too.
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.
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.
Everything that are living are living organisms. Every other things are not considered to be a living organism e.g. viruses.
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.
Viruses depend on living cells because they reproduce inside of them.
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.
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.
Viruses can reproduce only inside a cell of living organisms. Viruses are sometimes considered non-living structures because they lack cells.
Viruses are technically not living because they cannot reproduce without a host cell, they cannot move on their own, and they have no organeles.
Yes **G1N4** I thought some living things are not organisms, because they are not free living.
Neither, viruses are unique to themselves and don't belong to any classification of life. Viruses are not considered living things because they do not perform all the functions of life therefore they are considered organic particles.
None. Viruses are acellular. Many biologists do not consider viruses to be living things in part because they are acellular. Look at any phylogeny (tree of life). Viruses are not on them.
Biologists don't use binomial nomenclature to name viruses because binomial nomenclature is reserved for living things. Viruses are not considers alive.

They are because viruses are a form of micro-organism. so that makes them very small living things. They are roughly 1/1000 of a millimetre in size, and there sole purpose is to eat and reproduce.
