What is a virus called outside a host cell?
virus can't live outside host cell
Which component of a virus is lacking in a cell?
Both a living cell and a virus contain nucleic acid. The virus has a capsid, whereas a living cell does not.
How are bacteria different from viruses?
viruses are not alive. APEX
Why do scientists have difficulty including viruses in the category of living organisms?
Because a virus is not a living cell. It consists of an outer coat of protein surrounding a core of DNA or RNA. A virus can reproduce while it is inside a living host cell, but outside the host organism, it shows no sign of life. As such, viruses are not included in any of the six kingdoms of living things.
What makes virus nonliving?
1. The virus cannot reproduce on its own, it needs to have a host cell to help it reproduce. 2. The virus is not even a single-celled organism! 3. The virus can't even function on its own! The virus needs to have a host cell to live! 4. The virus does not grow on the inside of the protein coat. 5. The virus only has two main parts: the DNA and the protein coat, which protects the DNA.

In a tablar form why virus either be a non-living and living things?
outside a living host cell , a virus is found to be inactive , devoid of its metabolic activities . but inside a living cell it actively carries out all its metabolism . so sometimes it is living and some other times non living
Can a virus live outside a cell?
No
What do a virus and a living cell have in common?
Viruses cannot reproduce. They use a living cell to replicate themselves. When a virus infects a living cell, it injects its genetic material (DNA or RNA) into the cell. The virus' genetic material takes control of the cell and turns it into a virus factory. The cell does nothing but manufacture and assemble virus parts until eventually the cell ruptures and the new viruses erupt and go on to infect more cells.

What would happen to a virus that never came in contact with a living cell-?
Since a virus can only replicate on a living cell, host cell, it wouldn't be able to reproduce.
How does a host living cell face with an enemy virus?
A virus and a cell have to have matching "docking" proteins for the virus to invade. Otherwise the virus is blocked.
Infectious microorganisms that exist as a particle rather than one complete cell and are not capable or reproducing outside of a host cell are?
A virus is a small infectious microorganism that exists as a particle rather than a complete cell that is not capable of reproducing outside of a host cell. A virus only reproduces inside of other living cells in other organisms.
What cell comes in a fundamental living matter and come in two forms?
DNA is the fundamental living matter. A virus, considered to be a living matter consists of core of DNA. When this virus invades a Bacterial cell, it forms the Bacteriophase.DNA is the fundamental living matter. A virus, considered to be a living matter consists of core of DNA.

What provides energy for an virus?
A virus does not have a metabolism. To reproduce, a virus takes control of a living cell, forcing the cell to make copies of the virus. All energy is provided by the cell.
