Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive. They are nonliving. They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dogs coat. They are hitch hikers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These parts can assemble into more viruses and then they breakout of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. Other organisms don't do this.
What else can I help you with?
How are viruses unlike organisms?
Unlike organisms, viruses are not cellular, nor do they have ribosomes or any other organelles for protein production, energy generation, etc. They cannot capture or store free energy but can only use energy derived from their host. Also, viruses can only reproduce via the host and not on their own.
What are the other organisms besides fungi and bacteria?
Viruses
Viruses multiply the same way as other organisms?
I don't know about the same as other organisms,but definitely faster!MUCH faster!
How could viruses be helpful?
Some viruses target harmful organisms. For example, bacteriophage viruses kill bacteria. Other viruses might kill mosquitoes or weevils or other harmful insects without hurting any other species.
Does bacteria include organisms most unlike each other?
yes
What statement is true Viruses have organelles. Viruses can reproduce by themselves. Viruses are not living. Viruses produce their own energy?
The true statement is that viruses are not living. Unlike living organisms, viruses lack cellular structures and cannot reproduce or produce energy on their own; they require a host cell to replicate and carry out their functions. Therefore, they do not possess organelles or the ability to reproduce independently.
How are prioids unlike bacteria viruses and viroids?
Prions are infectious agents composed solely of misfolded proteins, lacking the nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) that characterize bacteria, viruses, and viroids. Unlike bacteria, which are single-celled organisms, and viruses and viroids, which require a host to replicate, prions propagate by inducing misfolding in normal proteins within the host. This unique mechanism of infection makes prions resistant to conventional sterilization and immune responses, distinguishing them from other pathogenic entities.
What aspect of viruses causes disease in humans or other organisms?
destruction of a host cell
Who is the founder of virus?
There isn't a single "founder" of viruses as they are naturally occurring entities. Viruses have been evolving alongside other living organisms for billions of years. The study of viruses and their impact on living organisms is an ongoing area of research in virology.
What is the largest cell number in viruses?
viruses are unicellular organisms
Viruses unlike bacteria are not composed of?
CELLS :)
