What kingdom are viruses classified in?

Viruses do not belong to any kingdom. There is an ongoing debate to whether viruses are alive or not. With the facts given, it is up to you to decide if viruses are alive or not. All Living things: -are composed of cells with a complex, organized structure -actively maintain their complex structure and internal environment (homeostasis) -respond to stimuli in their environment -acquire and use materials and energy from their environment and convert them into new forms -reproduce, using the molecular blueprint of DNA -have the capacity to evolve Viruses: -are not made of cells and do not have cells -cannot accomplish the basic tasks of living cells -have no ribosomes to make protein -have no cytoplasm -cannot acquire energy or steal the host's energy -cannot grow or reproduce by themselves or with other viruses -do not respond to stimuli -cannot maintain a stable internal environment -can evolve


What are two ways to classify viruses?

Why aren't viruses classified into a kingdom?

Viruses are not classified into a kingdom because they lack the characteristics of living organisms such as the ability to replicate on their own and carry out metabolic processes. They are considered acellular entities that depend on host cells to reproduce.
