FALSE Although viruses can multiply, they do so differently than organisms. Viruses can multiply only when they are inside a living cell.
The organism that a virus enters and multiplies inside is called a host. A host is an organism that provides a source of energy for a virus or another organism. A virus acts like parasite, an organism that lives on or in a host and causes it harm. Almost all viruses destroy the cells in which they multiply

What else can I help you with?
What is lacking in a Virus which makes it dependent on a living cell to multiply?
Viruses lack the supply of chemical constituents needed to assemble more viruses; these chemicals can be found inside cells (which use them for their own cellular reproduction when they have not been hijacked by an invading virus).
These pathogens cannot reproduce on their own and they must invade other cells to multiply?
Viruses
1. There is observable change from each kind of organism into some other kind True or False?
FALSE
Is influenza an organism?
No, but it is caused by an organism. Influenza is the name of the infectious disease that certain viruses cause in people and other animals. The virus that causes the flu is the organism, and influenza is the disease the organism causes.
Why are viruses considering to be non living?
Many scientists consider viruses to be non living because each and every living organism must carry out these 7 life processes for it to be considered living: Movement, Reproduction, Sensitivity, Growth, Respiration, Excretion and Nutrition. Viruses do all of these things except reproduction, which they cannot do. Instead, they multiply by using other living organism's cells which has caused a lot of debate over whether that counts as reproduction in the scientific community.
What type of organism is able to cause infections?
Pathogenic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, have the ability to cause infections in other organisms. These pathogens can invade the body, multiply, and disrupt normal functions, leading to an infection or disease.
Why it is difficult to treat diseases caused by viruses?
This is because viruses multiply rapidly . Faster than any other micro-organism . Also, viruses need a host to live .They are non living when not on a host . To estimate their characteristics is hard because they are living and non living .
What is an organism that supports a virus or other organism?
The answer to this question is a host! A host could be a host cell which a virus uses to reproduce and create more viruses to get you sick!
Do bacteria and viruses inhabit the same place in the cells?
Bacteria do not inhabit cells. Bacteria are one celled organisms that can live apart from other cells given the right environment (ie. food source, oxygen if an aerobic organism). Viruses, on the other hand, must invade a cell in order to multiply. Viruses use the cell's own internal "machinery" to reproduce to high numbers. At that point they break free from the host cell and go on to invade other cells.
Viruses multiply the same way as other organisms?
I don't know about the same as other organisms,but definitely faster!MUCH faster!
How can viruses grow and develop within a host organism?
Viruses grow and develop within a host organism by attaching to host cells, injecting their genetic material, and hijacking the host cell's machinery to replicate themselves. This process can lead to the destruction of the host cell and the spread of the virus to other cells in the organism.
Why can't viruses reproduce out of they're host organism?
Picture the host as the viruses brain and heart.. Once the virus leaves the host it dies. In other words the host gives it life.
