No, viruses are nonliving.
False; they are not made up of cells.
They do not reproduce asexually or sexually. Viruses need a host like a cell in order to reproduce. In the dormant state, they are virions, and considered to be nonliving. However, in their active state, as viruses, they are considered to be living organisms.
There are no bacteria or viruses on mars.
because they are not able to carry out life process outside the human body they are active only in human body.
Bacteria are considered to be living because they fulfill the requirements of the Cell Theory. Viruses, however, are generally classified as nonliving because they are not made of cells, they cannot reproduce independently, they generally do not react to noxious stimuli, etc.
Because viruses are considered nonliving and they need a host to reproduce, therfore they cannot live on their own. Now bacteria can reproduce asexually, so they can get bigger and do not need a host..
They cannot live outside of a host.
A virus is considered non-living. It does not have all the characteristics of a living thing unlike bacteria. Viruses need living cells to reproduce while any living things can reproduce (asexually or not).
No, viruses are nonliving.
False; they are not made up of cells.
Viruses, although the opinion on their non-living status may be changing.
They do not reproduce asexually or sexually. Viruses need a host like a cell in order to reproduce. In the dormant state, they are virions, and considered to be nonliving. However, in their active state, as viruses, they are considered to be living organisms.
They are Different because Viruses are nonliving.
Active (non-killed) viruses are living organisms.
Viruses are considered to be non-living things, and are capable of causing disease. The reason viruses are not considered living is because they lack many of the characteristics of life until they infect a host cell.
Viruses are prokaryotes and not Eukaryotes. Therefore they are not alive. Since it is not considered to be alive they do not belong in the 5 kingdom classification; Monera, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia, Protista. Bacteria are living once celled organisms and belong to either bacteria or Archaea. *Viruses not considered alive because they need a host to be able to reproduce. They cannot reproduce on their own.
