How are viruses similar to living organisms and how are they different?
Viruses are similar to living organisms because both contain hereditary material (RNA or DNA), and both reproduce. Viruses are different from living organisms because they do not use energy to grow, and do not use energy to respond to their surroundings.
Are viruses considered microbes?
Yes, viruses are considered microbes because they are microscopic organisms that are capable of causing infections in living organisms.
In what ways are viruses and bacteria similar?
Viruses and bacteria are both microscopic organisms that can cause infections in living organisms. They are different from each other in terms of structure and how they reproduce, but they can both cause diseases in humans, animals, and plants.
How are viruses like organisms?
Well, if you consider a cell a living organism, then yes. A virus is a living organism because, like cells, they usually regulate in your body.

Viruses have some of the properties of living organisms which is a characteristic of all organisms but NOT of viruses?
One of the characteristics is they contain genetic material (DNA), which is a characteristic that all living things must have in order to be considered living. And also when inside a host, they are able to reproduce, which all living things must be able to do.
