Do virus live only inside the cell of another organism yes or no?
Dacusjoyce
Yes virus cannot survive on the atmosphere beside living in host. It is a kind a neutral parasite which acts like a non living but works on the living cell

What organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell?
viruses can only reproduce in living cells by injecting their own dna into the nucleus
An organism that provides a source of energy or a suitable environment for a virus or for another organism to live?

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.
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.
Why is the cell invaded by the virus called a host cell?
A cell invaded by a virus is known as the 'host cell', as it 'hosted' the virus with shelter and food.
What are minute parasitic microbes that live inside another cell?
virus
The cell or organism which a virus depends is called?
This is the host (organism) and the cell is called the host cell.
True or false viruses multiply the same way as other organism?
FALSE Although viruses can multiply, they do so differently than organisms. Viruses can multiply only when they are inside a living cell. The organism that a virus enters and multiplies inside is called a host. A host is an organism that provides a source of energy for a virus or another organism. A virus acts like parasite, an organism that lives on or in a host and causes it harm. Almost all viruses destroy the cells in which they multiply CREDIT FROM: NORTH CAROLINA 8TH GRADE PRENTICE HALL SCIENCE EXPLORER
Why is the unicellular organism virus said to be the smallest organism eve though bacterial cell is the smallest cell?
FU
How viruses differ from living cell?
A virus is an inert chemical, with no metabolic activity, when it is not inside a cell. It cannot function on its own. Whereas with a living cell you always have a metabolism, even if the cell is part of a parasitic organism.
What organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell?
viruses can only reproduce in living cells by injecting their own dna into the nucleus
Name the organism that is not even a whole cell?
Virus and viroids
What part of an organism's cell does a virus depend upon?
Mitochondria
Cell in which a virus multiplies it self?
A virus replicates inside a host cell. For example 'Bacteriophase'

What must reproduce inside a virus?
Nothing reproduces inside a virus. It has to latch on the a host cell and insert its' DNA or RNA and then make the host cell reproduce virus particles.
