Bacteria are considered to be living because they fulfill the requirements of the Cell Theory. Viruses, however, are generally classified as nonliving because they are not made of cells, they cannot reproduce independently, they generally do not react to noxious stimuli, etc.

Why are viruses considered nonliving but bacteria are considered living Give two reasons?
Viruses are considered nonliving because they cannot carry out metabolic processes or reproduce independently; they require a host cell to replicate. In contrast, bacteria are classified as living organisms because they possess cellular structures, can metabolize nutrients, and reproduce autonomously through binary fission. Additionally, bacteria can carry out essential life functions, such as responding to stimuli and maintaining homeostasis, which viruses cannot do.
Reasons why viruses are considered nonliving and why bacteria is considered living?
Viruses are considered nonliving because they lack cellular structure, cannot reproduce independently, and require a host cell's machinery to replicate. They do not exhibit metabolic processes on their own and are essentially passive entities outside of a host. In contrast, bacteria are classified as living organisms because they possess cellular structure, can reproduce independently through binary fission, and carry out metabolic processes essential for their survival. Bacteria can grow, respond to stimuli, and adapt to their environment, all of which are hallmarks of life.
Does bacteria have properties of both living and nonliving things?

Why do bacteria grow on gelatin in a peri dish and viruses cannot grow in this manner?
Because viruses are considered nonliving and they need a host to reproduce, therfore they cannot live on their own. Now bacteria can reproduce asexually, so they can get bigger and do not need a host..
