They move by the flow, by gravity, etc. Because they are not alive, they cannot move against the flow. For example, if they're in the blood vessels, they go the direction of the flow around the body until they attach themselves to a cell with a specific binding site, or until they are decomposed.

∙ 15y agoSome viruses are airborne (as when a person sneezes), while others can only infect a person who touches a surface that has the virus on it (as on shopping cart handles). It just depends on what type of virus it is. Also, some viruses can survive longer on a surface than others can; again, it depends on the type of virus.

Viruses acquire envelopes around their nucleocapsids during?
Release.
What characteristics of life do viruses show?
Several traits could lead one to consider viruses as living organisms. They carry and transmit their own genetic information, they consume resources, they move, or rather they take advantage of a host in order to move, and they initiate self-replication when in a suitable host.
Are viruses motile?
No, viruses aren't even alive much less have flagellum.
What characteristic do viruses share with all living organisms?
Replicate Viruses are simple, and not cells, they attach to a cell infect it with viral RNA than disperse. They dont metbolize, use respiration, and not all living organisms move (plant cells) but they can move depending one what virus it is Viruses evolve, mutate and replicate at an alarming rates. Its to the point where you have to get newer shots more often because the virus changes or replicates so much
What characteristics do living things do viruses share?
Pretty much everything.Since viruses are not alive, they have many things in common with that of a non-living things. Some of these characteristics includes:cannot reproduce (viruses need a host in order to reproduce)cannot adapt to the environment (although they change, this is not an environmental adaption)are not made of a cell, nor are they composed of cells. (viruses are much smaller than that of a cell)cannot metabolize (viruses do not eat for energy, nor do they excrete waste material. They only use the energy made by the host cell, or the kinetic energy in gravity, wind, etc.)cannot grow (viruses can only be "assembled" when infecting the host cell.)
Are viruses mobile or immobile?
Viruses are immobile. They can not move on their own, and rely on their hosts biological systems to move them around.
Do viruses move independently or dependently?
Some viruses can move parts of their body, but most viruses rely on their hosts.
Do viruses move around?
They move by the flow, by gravity, etc. Because they are not alive, they cannot move against the flow. For example, if they're in the blood vessels, they go the direction of the flow around the body until they attach themselves to a cell with a specific binding site, or until they are decomposed.
Does Move Media player install viruses or worms?
No, install it now!
How do virus differ from bacteriafungiand parasites?
the only thing viruses have in common with them is that they move
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.
Why is it not true that anything that moves is a living thing?
no because viruses arnt classed as life and they move
Viruses acquire envelopes around their nucleocapsids during?
Release.
Why are your music files moving aroundi have my music in itunes but they keep moving to my music folder and then itunes can not find them is it a virus?
well you music isn't supposed to move around so yes they are viruses and delete them as soon as you can.
What are 10 non living things that move?
sand rocks viruses pollution water and much more
How does pukeko move?
a pukeko move around by flying around
Where do bacteria and viruses live?
Viruses live almost everywhere around us in places such as the soil and air.Different viruses may infect plants,animals or even bacteria .Viruses try to gain access to the machinery in the cell in order to make more viruses.
