Why are viruses not considerd living?
because they gain the 7 characteristics only when they enter a body and they don't have a proper cell structure.
How a virus inters your body and 'how it reproduces in your body'?
Viruses are like parasites. They always need host to reproduce and everything. First, they enter through any kind of opening in body, like wound, or mouth. Then the viruses send in their DNA's into uninfected cells using a protein fork. Then the cell is infected, and is forced to produce more viruses. When there are no more resources to produce more viruses in the cell, viruses burst out and the cell dies. This repeats until the infected organism dies.
Do viruses produce there own food?
No, viruses do not need food and do not contain the appropriate organelles to metabolize it.
How are viruses harmful to living cells?
Viruses can reproduce very quickly. When reproducing they enter a living cell and they inject their genetic material.
Viruses enter animal cells by?
Viruses attach to the cell membrane of animal cells and break it, injecting their genetic material (RNA, sometimes DNA) into the cell. This DNA integrates itself into the host DNA and replicates with it, hijacking the cellular components.
What can viruses reprouduce?
Viruses don't actually reproduce by themselves. When they enter somebodies body, they take over a cell and sort of hack its system to make the cell produce copies of the virus and not itself. That is why you get sick.

Does a hidden viruses enter a cell and immediately begin to multiply?
yes

When do viruses reproduce?
viruses can not reproduce without the help of a living cell(host).they remain inert or dead(in-active) when they are in free environment or outside the body(host).when they enter the living cell or in some cases insert their nucleic acid into the host,it takes over the host's biosynthetic machinery and forces it to reproduce essential viral components and after proper assembly the cell burst and viruses leave the cell to infect other cells
Do viruses only reproduce within one cell?
Virus cannot replicate themselves. They should enter a living cell
Interferons are a body cell's defense against?
viruses and tumor cells
What is responsible for the specificity of viruses?
Viruses have proteins in their capsid which match proteins in the membrane of their preferred host. This produces the ability to "dock" and then enter the host cell.
Why can a virus enter some types of human cells and not others?
Some viruses are very specific to certain cells. The cell has proteins on it's surface and a virus will use it a docking station to be able to enter the cell. Some cells don't have that protein and the virus can not enter the cell.
Viruses enter animal cells by?
Viruses attach to the cell membrane of animal cells and break it, injecting their genetic material (RNA, sometimes DNA) into the cell. This DNA integrates itself into the host DNA and replicates with it, hijacking the cellular components.
