How are viruses like hijackers?
Viruses are like hijackers because they infiltrate host cells and take over their machinery to replicate themselves, similar to how hijackers seize control of an aircraft to redirect it for their own purposes. Once inside, viruses manipulate the host's resources to produce more viral particles, often compromising the host's normal functions. This parasitic relationship can lead to cell damage and disease, akin to the chaos caused by a hijacking. Ultimately, both exploit and disrupt established systems for their own benefit.
How are viruses similer to parasites?
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 parts 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. They are very small and can be considered ultramicroscopic. We were not able to see them with the best light microscopes as we could bacteria (prokaryotes). We have to use an electron microscope to see them as they are that small. This was not available until recently. Since they are "hijackers", they are like parasites.
Why is it not correct to call a virus a microbes?
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 are viruses living when they do not show any movement?

What characterstics of life do viruses not have?

Why are Viruses not considered living by most Biologist?
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.

Do Viruses multiply through binary fission?
No, they do not. 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.No, only living cells divide by binary fission. Viruses are not alive.
Why is a virus not like a living thing?
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.

How do you get snapdo?
Like all "Hijackers" you can get it by downloading something. Such as the herobrine mod for minecraft.
