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.
Cell in which a virus reproduces?
a virus can reproduce in any cell it is meant for. like, you can't get a skin virus in your stomach. some viruses affect more than one kind of cell
Why does a certain virus attach to only one type or few types of cells?
Yes. According to Pearson Education's book, "Each virus contains unique proteins on its outer surface. The shape of these proteins allows the virus to attach to, or lock onto, only certain host cells."
Is a virus made of more than one cell?
NO! Virus are made of single unit either they are not called as cell because viruses are not consider as living beings they only contain a protein coat and a gentic material in that some time they also have capsule aroung the protein coat.
What happens when the virus has complete control of the cell?
One of two things can happen: the cell becomes quiet (latent) and activates later or secondly it will break open destroying the cell and casting many virus particles out to infect other cells.
Why will a certain virus attach to only one or a few cell types?
Virus attachment is dependent upon the cell surface receptor that can interact with the protein on the virus surface. The interaction is akin to a lock and a key. The key is the protein on the virus, and the lock is the cell surface receptor. A key will only get into the correct lock.
How does a virus attach to a cell and transfer its genetic material into the cell?
It has to have a host cell that way the virus can multiply in the cell and destroy it. After it destroys that cell it can go to another one and destroy it.

What does virus do once they are inside your body?
a virus will attach itself to a healthy cell and inject some bad stuff in to it and make it one of a bad cell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How does a virus spread from one host to another?
First, the virus hijacks the cell and makes it become a virus-making factory. As new virus particles are created in the cell, eventually they fill the cell to the point of bursting open. When this happens, the particles are released where they can then each attach to and hijack a new cell, and the process repeats until your immune system creates the needed antibodies to stop the new viruses from being able to attach to and infect new cells.
Do viruses only reproduce within one cell?
Virus cannot replicate themselves. They should enter a living cell

What three steps occur after a virus attaches and enters a host cell?
When a virus enters a cell and is active, it causes the host cell to make new viruses, this process destroys active virus functions inside a cell.....it like 'tricks' the host cell that it's one of the cells
What latent virus does when enters a cell?
First the virus goes into the cell. When its in the cell it "hides" and the cell makes a copy. Once it makes a copy the latent virus reveal themselves and then there are latent viruses in the first cell and the duplicated one. After that it copies it self in each cell and then releases.
What attracts a virus to a cell?
Once viruses are in your body, they are attracted to cells because they see a cell as a pleasant host. Viruses are not technically living because, even though they carry out many of the processes that living things do, they cannot do this by themselves, which is why they need another host body. A virus will attach itself to one of your cells, and inject it's DNA into the cell, causing it to become a virus-making factory. Once enough viruses are made, the cell bursts open and hundreds of new viruses are released throughout your body.
