Viruses are not considered motile in the traditional sense because they lack the necessary cellular machinery to move on their own. Instead, they rely on external forces such as air currents, liquid flow, or host cell movement to travel from one place to another. Once inside a host cell, viruses can hijack the cell's machinery to replicate and spread to other cells.

Is archaebacteria or eubacteria motile or non-motile?
Motile - The Moving or having the power to move spontaneously: motile spores. Archaea bacteria is motile.
Are viruses motile?

What are fungi motile or non-motile?

Gametes that are motile are often called?
A motile gamete is a sperm cell; it is motile because it has a flagellum and it swims around, and it is a gamete because, combined with the non-motile ovum, it can form a zygote and hence a new organism.
Which kingdoms are motile?
The animal kingdom is mainly composed of motile organisms, while most organisms in the plant kingdom are non-motile. Some protists and fungi can also exhibit motility.
Are viruses free-living organisms?
viruses are not technically alive because they cant reproduce by themselves, eat, break down food, or grow
Are there any non-motile animals?
Yes.
Why arem any sperms produced and they are motile?
The large number of sperm produced is natures way of making sure at least one finishes the trip and hopefully impregnates the egg. They are motile so that they are able to finish the trip.
What is a difference between bacteria and viruses that shows that bacteria are living organims and viruses are not?
Bacteria metabolize ingested nutrients. Viruses do not do this. Bacteria reproduce by fusion. A virus needs a host to reproduce. Bacteria exchange gases with the environment. A virus does do this. A bacteria is motile in many cases. Flagella. Viruses must depend on the current in solution. As you see viruses do not have any of the markers of living organisms, but some biologists do not fully agree that viruses are not a sort of living organism.
Are plants motile or non-motile?
If an organism is motile then it can move. Plants are not motile.
Is plasmodium motile or non-motile?

Are protista motile?
motile
Are fish motile or non motile?
They have legs and can walk so theyre motile
Are animal motile?
Yes they are motile
Is there any bacteria growth in a semisolid agar deeps motile?
Bacteria can grow in semisolid agar deeps even if they are motile. Motile bacteria may exhibit visible growth patterns such as streaking or turbidity within the medium due to their ability to move through the agar. It is important to observe for any signs of growth, such as turbidity or swirling in the agar, to determine if bacteria are present and motile.
Are ferns motile or non motile?
most people believe that plantae are motile
