Viruses are not classified as living things because they do not have the properties of living things such as reproductive function.
They need to have a host for their genetic material. On the other hand, all living cells can reproduce if they are signalled.
They also do not have cellular structure
They do not have their own metabolism
Because a virus does not have any cells.
Striated muscle fibers are considered an exception to the cell theory because they are multinucleated, meaning they have multiple nuclei within a single cell. This contradicts the cell theory's principle that states all living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
Viruses are considered an exception to the cell theory because they lack the ability to carry out metabolic processes independently, replicate, or grow without a host cell. They are not considered living organisms because they do not meet all the criteria necessary for being classified as a cell.
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the host cell. The virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more virus particles.
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.
The cell invaded by the virus is called a host cell because it provides the environment and resources necessary for the virus to replicate and multiply. The virus uses the host cell's machinery to produce more viruses, ultimately leading to the destruction of the host cell.
Not to virus because they are not life forms!

In theory it could. A virus goes into a cell an replaces its DNA to make that cell produce more virus. So in theory we could make a viral infection that would go into the cells and change the DNA, it would be very completed though.
No where. A virus is not a cell.
Be more specific? Viruses can be considered pathogens, but they are not considered living because they do not obey the cell theory.
Viruses are considered an exception to the cell theory because they lack the ability to carry out metabolic processes independently, replicate, or grow without a host cell. They are not considered living organisms because they do not meet all the criteria necessary for being classified as a cell.
What a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.
A virus.
Both a living cell and a virus contain nucleic acid. The virus has a capsid, whereas a living cell does not.
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.
It has no nucleus, though technically a virus is not a cell at all.
A virus will replicate within a host cell.
