viruses are not technically alive because they cant reproduce by themselves, eat, break down food, or grow
parasitic
Viruses do not have complex membranes like eukaryotic organisms have. Viruses also do not have cells, nor are they technically living organisms. There is no need for viruses to control the movement of material in and out of the viral particles.
It depends on the virus. Viruses may have a very specific host range.
Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.
No. Viruses are not cells. They invade cells to get the materials to copy their DNA. Many people do not consider viruses to be truly alive.

Yes, viruses are considered microbes because they are microscopic organisms that are capable of causing infections in living organisms.
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms
Viruses do not have complex membranes like eukaryotic organisms have. Viruses also do not have cells, nor are they technically living organisms. There is no need for viruses to control the movement of material in and out of the viral particles.
Bacteria and viruses are examples of prokaryotic organisms.
No viruses should not be considered living organisms because they require a host to live &therefore are not an organism but an infestation.
viruses are on the borderline of living and non living while organisms are living, viruses are simple structured, they have a DNA strand surrounded by a protein coat and sometimes a tail while organisms consist of complex cells
