Viruses are not alive. They are infectious particles. They hijack a living cell's DNA and force it to make viruses parts instead of living cell parts. The cell is made to assemble to parts and the new viruses bust out of the cell, killing it, and infect more cells.
viruses are non-living yet they can grow and spread through bodies
Yes, some non-living things, like viruses, exhibit characteristics of living things such as replication and evolution. However, they are considered non-living because they cannot carry out these processes on their own and require a host cell to reproduce.
No, non-living things do not have the ability to reproduce. Reproduction is a biological process that involves the creation of new individuals from existing ones, and non-living things lack the necessary biological mechanisms for reproduction.
Viruses aren't living, and are the only non-living organisms, and bacteria are prokaryotes, meaning they don't have a defined nucleus.
The characteristics are:-Locomotion like in carsMovement like in machinesEnergy production like in bulbsArtificial intelligence like computers
There actually living
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms
Roughly, the basic principle is that a "living things" can reproduce through cell division and "non-living things" cannot. For example, bacteria can procreate on its own, while viruses cannot. Viruses have to come into contact with the cells of living things to have their genome duplicated and multiply.
Living things like bugs grow. Non-living things like rocks or water, don't grow at all.
sand rocks viruses pollution water and much more
They don't. They are non-living.
Viruses are non-living just like a rock is. Since they are not cells, they can not be alive. However, they can "hijack" a living cell. They have either DNA or RNA which allows this hijacking to occur. By doing this, they can make the host cell make more viruses just like them. This causes the virus to spread.
