What else can I help you with?
The virus that causes chicken pox contains DNA. It reproduces inside the cells of living organisms. The virus is not made of cells and does not eat or breathe. Why isn’t the virus considered to be a living thing?
Viruses lack the ability to reproduce independently since they rely on host cells for replication. They also lack cellular structures and processes found in living organisms, such as metabolism and growth. These characteristics lead to viruses being classified as non-living entities.
What is the gender of virus?
Viruses do not have a gender. They are microscopic infectious agents that replicate inside living cells.
What distinguishes living from non-living?
The main ways you can tell if something is living if it has all of the below * It has DNA/RNA * It reproduces in someway * It is made up of many specialized cells or in the case of the single celled organism one * Reacts to stimuli One organism that can be argued that is living the virus cell. While it reacts to stimuli, has DNA/RNA, and has cells. It can not reproduce on its one it has to attach to another cell to inject that one with particles of virus, and when the cell bursts it spreads the virus cells. A virus cell does not divide or merge with another organism to produce more viruses. Though in a way it does merge it does not merge with one its own kind, thus it is not reproducing to create more virus.
How does the virus reanimate dead cells in the body?
Viruses reanimate dead cells in the body by hijacking the cellular machinery of living cells. Once inside a cell, the virus uses the cell's resources to replicate itself, leading to the destruction of the host cell. This process allows the virus to spread and infect other cells, ultimately causing harm to the body.
What would happen to a virus that never came in contact with a living cell-?
Since a virus can only replicate on a living cell, host cell, it wouldn't be able to reproduce.
A Virus contains a set of plans for what?
infecting living cells
If the virus that causes chickenpox contains DNA reproduces inside cells of living organisms is not made of cells and does not eat or breathe then why isn't the virus considered to be living?
Viruses are not living things because they do not meat the definition/standard science uses to define living things.

Is a virus made up of a cell or cells?
No, a virus is not made up of cells. It is a small infectious agent that can only replicate inside the cells of living organisms.
The virus that causes chicken pox contains DNA. It reproduces inside the cells of living organisms. The virus is not made of cells and does not eat or breathe. Why isn and rsquot the virus considered?
The virus that causes chicken pox is not considered a living organism because it does not possess the characteristics typically associated with life. It cannot reproduce independently, does not metabolize nutrients, nor does it exhibit cellular structure or functions. Instead, it relies on hijacking the cellular machinery of living hosts to replicate and propagate itself. Thus, it is classified as a virus, which is distinct from living organisms.
Is influenza virus prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Influenza virus is neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic. It is classified as a type of virus, which is considered non-living and contains genetic material (RNA or DNA) surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses are distinct from cellular organisms and do not fit into the categories of prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
Did viruses appear before or after living cells?
no because we needed to know about living cells to know about a virus.
An agent that reproduces in cells but is not composed of cells and contains RNA as its genetic material is what?
A virus
What does not have a organelles?
Organelles are in every cell. Virus do not have organelles.
What organism does the flu virus represent?
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 form of genetic material that invades living cells to reproduce?
Virus
How do virus's effect living cells?
go some were else you twats
