The flu virus is a virus. It is a non-living particle that infects living cells, takes over their machinery and makes more of themselves.
a virus because they are not considered living due to the fact that they can only reproduce my attack host cells
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.
This is (generally) referring to a VIRUS particle. Viruses can reproduce (a characteristic of living organisms) but may also be crystallised (a characteristic of non-living organisms). For this reason, a good number of scientists prefer not to talk of a virus as a living thing and even find discord classifying it under the normal taxonomic concepts and rules.
Virus cannot considered living. They lack cellular organization
at first i was crying but then it just hit me it was a stupied virus
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).
