What is the difference between a virus and an animal cell and is a virus determined as living?
Living things exhibit the characteristics of moving, respiration, reproduction, growth, etc. A virus does not exhibit any of these things except reproduction, however it can only do this when inside a host cell. A virus cannot be considered either distinctly a living or nonliving organism. This is because while it does not full satisfy the definition of a living organism, it cannot be considered dead either because they replicate once they are within a living cell (a characteristic that is not possessed by dead organisms).
How it lives virus?
I am assuming that you are asking how a virus lives in the body. A virus is NOT a live organism. It is able to penetrate the host's cells and duplicate the RNA/DNA within those cells and when those cells replicate, the virus also replicates, thus growing in numbers very quickly. Viruses are difficult to kill since they are not considered living organisms. One way that might help is to denature the proteins that are living inside the cytoplasm of the virus.
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.
Why is virus not included in microorganism?
Viruses are not considered microorganisms because they lack many characteristics of living organisms, such as the ability to reproduce on their own or carry out metabolic processes. They require a host cell to replicate and are often seen as biological entities rather than living organisms.
Which organism is considered an exception to the cell theory?
Striated muscle fibers are considered an exception to the cell theory because they are multinucleated, meaning they have multiple nuclei within a single cell. This contradicts the cell theory's principle that states all living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
What is one reason why a virus could be considered a life form?
it can move
Why are cells considered to be the basic units of life?
Basically all living organism must have at least one cell to survive and to carry out its function.Organism like virus, viriods or prions are not considered as living organism as they can't carry out its function outside the host cell.
Why do my windows keep minimizing?
One reason that your windows keep minimizing could be a virus on your computer. Run your virus scan to see if you have a virus.
Why is a virus not considered to be a unicellular organism?
Virus is not cellular. It does not have cells, nor is it made from one cell.Virus is not an organism. It is not alive and cannot considered an organism.It is mainly because it can not reproduce itself, its multiplication solely depend on the host. So no host=no virus! which also means virus is not an organism, but just an infectious agent or particle.
What kingdom is the common cold virus in?
The common cold virus, or rhinovirus, belongs to the kingdom Viruses. Viruses are not classified under any kingdom in traditional biological classification systems because they are considered acellular and do not fit the criteria for living organisms.
Why do people sometimes say that viruses lack independent replication?
Viruses can not replicate without a living host cell. This is one reason that they are not considered to be alive.

What is a Living organism within a virus called?
There is no such thing. viruses are so very small that a living thing could not live inside one. But a virus inside a living thing could be called latent if it is not causing a disease or active if it is.

What traits do most living things have in common?
They have Carbon. They contain DNA, not RNA like a virus. They are single-celled or multi. One old way they noticed is that if an organism were to create Urea it was considered a living organism, but that theory was overruled. Hope this helps.
What is One of a group of disease causing substance.Dependent on living tissue for reproduction and growth?
Virus
Do viruses only reproduce within one cell?
Virus cannot replicate themselves. They should enter a living cell
