How does viruses effect our life?
Viruses can effect our life by giving us a cold. But HIV, however, can kill us. Our immune system have lymphocytes that destroy viruses by using antibodies. Viruses tell the nucleus to make copies of the viruses. So many are made, the cell explodes. HIV destroy our lymphocytes. So we get weaker and weaker and then die.
Are viruses considered living?
Yes, they are. Actually, the more they live, the bigger they grow, and the more they get sick. Wash your body everyone day to prevent getting sick!Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive. They are nonliving. They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dog's coat. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They cannot make more viruses on their own.
How viruses are made?
Viruses are made by tiny micro organism( germs) that basically float in the air or surround you. You can get it from people sneezing or being by an sick person/ etc.

Is salmonella a virus?
No. They are bacteria. Viruses are non-living particles. They make you sick by landing on a living cell, reproducing using the cell, and then destroying the cell. The new viruses do the same. Bacteria are living single-celled organisms. The few that make you sick (about 1/15 of bacteria are pathogenic, meaning make you sick) make you sick by taking the nutrients out of other living cells. So, technically, since bacteria and viruses are completely different things, I don't think there's a such thing as a bacterial virus as one organism
What are viruses that make us ill called?
Pathogenic viruses cause illnesses and disease.
Why do bacteria make us sick?
Not all bacteria cause damage to our system. some are used in medicines to counter-attack other bacterias or viruses which affect our health. if our organs and systems are not immune, we're exposed to diseases caused by bacterias. therefore it is for us to avoid falling sick ^^
