What else can I help you with?
DO non living organisms reproduce?
No. Dead things don't reproduce. Ever. They're dead. Viruses have characteristics of both non-living and living organisms and they can reproduce inside the host cell. nope, dead things dont do anything but rot. cause they are dead
What separates viruses from living things?
Viruses lack the ability to carry out basic functions of living organisms, such as metabolism and reproduction, when they are outside a host cell. They also do not have the machinery to generate energy or produce proteins on their own. Viruses are considered obligate intracellular parasites because they rely on host cells to replicate.
How are viruses different from living organisms?
First Answer:Viruses are different from living organisms because:Viruses need host cells to reproduce.The do not perform cellular respiration.Viruses also need no nutrition, minerals or food. They need nothing other than a host.Second Answer:Viruses ARE living organisms.
Why don't scientist classify virus as living things?
Scientists do not classify viruses as living things because they lack key characteristics of living organisms, such as the ability to reproduce and carry out metabolic processes on their own. Viruses are considered biological entities that require a host cell to replicate.
Do viruses need oxygen to live?
No, viruses are not living organisms and do not require oxygen to survive. They are simply comprised of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed within a protein coat, and they rely on host cells to reproduce.
Viruses depend on living things for what?
Viruses depend on living cells because they reproduce inside of them.
Can non-living things reproduce?
No, non-living things do not have the ability to reproduce. Reproduction is a biological process that involves the creation of new individuals from existing ones, and non-living things lack the necessary biological mechanisms for reproduction.
What is the only thing that viruses have in common with living things?
They reproduce.
Do viruses reproduce with live or dead?
viruses are nonliving things. but they need living things to reproduces. so live
What are two things make viruses different to plants and animals?
1. they don't have cells, virus is a chunk of nucleic acid with a protein coat. 2. most viruses are destructive and they reproduce inside living things.
Viruses have some of the properties of living organisms which is a characteristic of all organisms but NOT of viruses?
One of the characteristics is they contain genetic material (DNA), which is a characteristic that all living things must have in order to be considered living. And also when inside a host, they are able to reproduce, which all living things must be able to do.
What characteristic of living things do viruses have that ultimately create the problems you have with them?
it can grow and develop and reproduce
DO non living organisms reproduce?
No. Dead things don't reproduce. Ever. They're dead. Viruses have characteristics of both non-living and living organisms and they can reproduce inside the host cell. nope, dead things dont do anything but rot. cause they are dead
Why are viruses difficult to place in the category of living things?
Viruses are technically not living because they cannot reproduce without a host cell, they cannot move on their own, and they have no organeles.
Which is difference between bacteria and viruses that shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses not?
Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to "hijack" so they can reproduce. Bacteria have metabolisms, catabolic and anabolic biochemical reactions going on in their cells all the time. Viruses do not. Bacteria can grow in size to a certain extent while viruses do not change in this regard. The definition of living things classify bacteria as a living thing, while viruses are not.
Are all organisms living things?
Yes **G1N4** I thought some living things are not organisms, because they are not free living.
Is viruses are not living?
They are because viruses are a form of micro-organism. so that makes them very small living things. They are roughly 1/1000 of a millimetre in size, and there sole purpose is to eat and reproduce.
