Which of these statements is not trueBiologists do not consider viruses to be living things?
Immunizations are one way to combat some viral diseases. Antibiotics are one method of killing a virus. Some viruses may remain dormant in the body for many years.

What else can I help you with?
Why are viruses not yet consider living thing?
They don't have a Nucleus.
Why do you consider viruses as non living outside host?
Viruses either have a strand of DNA or RNA not both like living organisms. They need a host (you and me) in order to replicate.
What type of cell are viruses?
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.
Viruses and bacteria are which type of living thing?
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.
Do biologists consider viruses living or nonliving?
Biologists consider dormant virions to be non-living because they must obtain a host to function and replicate themselves. However, active viruses are considered to be living, by most scientists.
Is a viris living?
No. Virologists, the scientists who study viruses, don't consider them living things because they do not meet all the criteria of the definition of life.
What is the worldssmallest living organism?
Depends on your definition of "living".Viruses, and Nanobes are smaller, but many do not consider them living.Viruses are smallestNanobes are larger than VirusesNanoarchaeum are larger than Nanobes.Nanoarchaeum are considered the smallest aside from Viruses and Nanobes.
Why don't most scientist consider viruses to be alive?
Most scientists consider viruses as the link between living an non living organisms. Viruses are considered non-living by some scientists because - 1) They donot perform any metabolic activities. 2) Outside the host cell , viruses are present only in crystalised form. (Even after it is un-crystalised , it does not lose it's capacity for infection) 3) It does not require any sort of "food".
What are the differances viruses and bacteria?
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms
Where are viruses on the tree of life?
Many, if not most biologists do not consider viruses living. So, they are not on any phylogenetic tree that I know of. They may have a phylogeny that I am unaware of, though.
What statements is accurate concerning viruses?
Viruses are non-living entities that require a host cell to replicate. They can infect various forms of life, including plants, animals, and even bacteria. Viruses can cause a range of illnesses, from the common cold to more severe diseases like HIV and COVID-19.
Are mumps caused by microbes?
Mumps are caused by a virus so it depends what you consider a microbe. Some microbiologists consider viruses to be microbes and some don't because they are technically non-living.
