Viruses do not contradict the idea that all living things are made of cells because?
viruses are not considered to be living organisms as they lack the cellular structure and cannot carry out cellular functions on their own. They can only replicate by hijacking the machinery of living cells. Therefore, viruses do not challenge the concept that all living things are made of cells.
Why do scientists debate whether viruses are alive?
Scientists debate whether viruses are alive because they lack the characteristics of traditional living organisms, such as the ability to reproduce on their own. Viruses depend on host cells to replicate and lack cellular structures that define life. Some argue that viruses are on the edge of life, while others consider them more as biological entities.
What are three difference between viruses and bacteria?
-viruses and alive but bacteria is -viruses spread but dont multiply or change in your body, bacteria are alive and are often evolving -viruses cannot be treated, but bacteria can be eliminated with chemincals and anitbiotics
Viruses are not considered alive because they lack?
Some people argue that viruses are not alive because they lack any form of energy, carbon metabolism, and they canâ??t replicate or evolve. Therefore, they do not exhibit the same set of characteristics of all living things.
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 do viruses have to support the idea that they are living?
they reproduce
Are all viruses living?
Viruses are not alive in the first place, so no.
What are viruses not named by?
Since viruses are not alive, they are not named by a genus or a species.
Do viruses have a place in the animal kingdom?
No, because viruses aren't alive.
What are difference between bacteria and viruses.?
-viruses and alive but bacteria is -viruses spread but dont multiply or change in your body, bacteria are alive and are often evolving -viruses cannot be treated, but bacteria can be eliminated with chemincals and anitbiotics
Do all scientists believe viruses are alive?
Certainly not. It is a hotly debated subject. Viruses (and prions for that matter) are not alive in a conventional sense.
Are viruses and bacteria alive?
bacteria is but for viruses some scientists believe they are alive and others think they dont so i can't give you an answer to that
Why are viruses not classified into any five kingdom?
Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive.
What are the seven life processes of viruses?
Since viruses are not alive they can not have life processes.
Do viruses sleep?
Viruses are not alive and so do not sleep. They can become inactive for a while.
Why don't scientists use binomial nomenclature to name viruses?
Biologists don't use binomial nomenclature to name viruses because binomial nomenclature is reserved for living things. Viruses are not considers alive.
Why do viruses not contradict the idea that all living things are made of cells because?
A virus is an extremely small cell. You can have big cells and little cells. Viruses aren't considered to be alive because they depend on a host cell for energy and reproduction.
