Viruses are inert until they encounter proteins on the surface of a cell that they are able to bind to. Once bound, they react by injecting their nucleic acid component into the cell, which takes it over making millions of copies of the virus.

Is there homeostasis in a virus?
No viruses do not have homeostasis. They have no cellular activities because they are not made of cells. Viruses do not respond or adapt to the environment. Any changes in the viruses are brought about by the host cells that make the new copies of the virus. When science says that viruses evolve, it is really the host cell that makes the changes in the virus. So the virus type accumulates these changes, but it doesn't make the changes itself.
Do viruses respond their environment?
No they can reproduce if they come across a host cell but cannot respond to their environment
Are viruses found in air water and soil?
Yes, viruses are very good at adapting to their environment to ensure their survival.

Certainly not. It is a hotly debated subject. Viruses (and prions for that matter) are not alive in a conventional sense.
How do leeches sense their environment?
their tongue
Why scientist believe that virus are not living organisms?
viruses do not grow, and viruses do not respond to changes in their environment. Therefore, viruses are not living organisms. All living things reproduce, but Viruses need living cells to reproduce because Viruses cannot reproduce by themselves.
How do roly poly's sense their environment?
There are a few different ways in which a roly poly can sense in their environment. Roly polys use their feet for example.
What additiional protective layer of protein surrounds some viruses?
This layer is called a capsid. The viruses without one are called naked viruses. The naked virus is can be damaged more readily by things in the environment.
What are some good uses of viruses on the environment?
messin up ur computa lol
