Viruses are often referred to as microorganisms because they are very small and can only be seen with a microscope. While they do not fit all the criteria to be considered living organisms, they share characteristics with other microorganisms like bacteria and fungi.
Most people use "viruses", but if you wanted to be really proper about it, you could treat it as the original Latin word and use "virii" (pronounced like "vye-rye", both syllables rhyme with "eye").
A virus is a microscopic infectious agent that can cause diseases. A disease, on the other hand, refers to a particular condition or illness that affects the functioning of a living organism. So, a virus can be the cause of a disease, but not all diseases are caused by viruses.

virus or host cell not really sure u shod really look it up because u c I'm looking for an answer for my stupid science homework and cant freaking find it because i have a crappy book so i suggest u look somewhere else o and I'm sorry for dishing out mi problems on u but I'm really bored as u can see!
An organism is any living thing. Here are some sentences.An organism that is invisible to the naked eye is called a micro-organism.That is an entirely new organism you have discovered.You cannot really study an organism without studying its environment.
It is incorrect to call a virus a microbe because a microbe is a living organism, while a virus is not. Viruses do not exhibit all the characteristics necessary to be classified as a living organism.
viruses are not really organisms
A pathogen is a microorganism that causes disease such as bacterium and viruses. All viruses are pathogens, which means they all cause disease it causes disease But a pathogen is a living organism and a viru s is not so its really argumentive.
yes but its not the site its the people who put viruses on the site
The defining characteristic of a living organism is the ability to reproduce. Many scientists say that viruses are not really living organisms because they can not reproduce independently, but must enter a living cell and reproduce as the cell itself reproduces.

Nobody really knows, but there are really bad viruses that can kill a lot of people.
Most living things are made of cells. Viruses are not, but there is some debate about whether they are really alive.
There really is no specific size for any living organism because it depends on the DNA passed on from the parents to their offspring.
they get really anoying because they give viruses and get spammed
"Viruses are so primitive that many scientists consider them to be both living and nonliving things. By itself, a virus is a lifeless particle that cannot reproduce. But inside a living cell, a virus becomes an active organism that can multiply hundreds of times."
It depends on what is causing the pneumonia. There are bacterial causes of pneumonia such as streptococcus pneumoniae and bacteria are prokaryotic. Viruses can also cause pneumonia and are not really considered prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Fungi are eukaryotes and can also cause pneumonia.
