Yes!!, Viruses are non cellular parasitic agents. They are not included in the classification of organisms. They consist of two parts: and outer capsid(composed of proteins) and an inner core of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA). They can only reproduce inside a living cell.
No, viruses are nonliving.
Viruses are considered nonliving because they cannot reproduce independently; they require a host cell to replicate and produce new viral particles. Additionally, viruses do not possess cellular structures or metabolic processes, which are essential characteristics of living organisms.
They do not reproduce asexually or sexually. Viruses need a host like a cell in order to reproduce. In the dormant state, they are virions, and considered to be nonliving. However, in their active state, as viruses, they are considered to be living organisms.
Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive. They are nonliving. They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dog's coat. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They cannot make more viruses on their own.
Viruses are often classified as nonliving because they lack the essential characteristics of life, such as cellular structure, metabolism, and the ability to reproduce independently. They cannot carry out metabolic processes on their own and require a host cell to replicate and propagate. Additionally, viruses do not respond to stimuli or maintain homeostasis, further supporting their classification as nonliving entities.
No, viruses are nonliving.
they studied viruses and nonliving particles smaller than a cell that may infect living organisms.
They are Different because Viruses are nonliving.
They do not reproduce asexually or sexually. Viruses need a host like a cell in order to reproduce. In the dormant state, they are virions, and considered to be nonliving. However, in their active state, as viruses, they are considered to be living organisms.
Since viruses are nonliving, they have no known predators.

Viruses are considered to be non-living things, and are capable of causing disease. The reason viruses are not considered living is because they lack many of the characteristics of life until they infect a host cell.
If you mean what are viruses then they are nonliving strands Rna surrounded by a protein coat

Viruses ---> , there nonliving particles because they do not contain organelles that carry out cell functions, yet they are composed of an inner core of nucleic acids, surrounded by a capsid made of protein. They replicate inside living cells or "host cells" Hope this helps

None. They are nonliving organisms.
