WHY do viruses reproduce in the living cell?
to divide themselves
How are bacteria different from viruses?
viruses are not alive. APEX
What statement is true Viruses have organelles. Viruses can reproduce by themselves. Viruses are not living. Viruses produce their own energy?
The true statement is that viruses are not living. Unlike living organisms, viruses lack cellular structures and cannot reproduce or produce energy on their own; they require a host cell to replicate and carry out their functions. Therefore, they do not possess organelles or the ability to reproduce independently.
Does a virus use sexual reproduction?
Viruses cannot reproduce themselves alone. They inject their DNA into living cells of a host organism. The virus cells use the host cells to develop themselves and leave the cell when ready. Viruses are not living, so they are dependent on a living organism for reproduction.
Why do viruses need a living host?
Because they are not living organisms themselves, so they have no way to produce energy or materials to create replications of themselves without "hijacking" the cells of living organisms to do that for them. Viruses are particles made of chemicals, proteins and some with fats plus genetic instructions that they carry and are able to insert into the cells of hosts through chemical processes, but they are not self-sustaining. They don't eat or use photosynthesis like animals and plants. So they use the genetic instructions to make the cell work as a factory to reproduce themselves using the fats, proteins, and chemicals from the host. Reproduction is the only goal of these particles.

Are Viruses able to reproduce without using other organisms?
viruses are dormant when they are not inside a living cell. that means they don't have living characteristics when outside a living cell. they only reproduce when they are inside a living cell.

Can parasites and virus grow in food?
no. . . Because parasites and viruses can only grow on living matters... There may be saprophytes and bacteria growing in your food. . . Even parasites and viruses can be there but can not grow. .
Why are viruses difficult to place in the category of living things?
Viruses are technically not living because they cannot reproduce without a host cell, they cannot move on their own, and they have no organeles.
Why viruses are considered as parasites?
They are obligate paracites.They cannot multiply without another living cell
Do viruses only reproduce within one cell?
Virus cannot replicate themselves. They should enter a living cell
What is the difference between reproduction cycles of viruses and reproduction cycles of living things?
Viruses don't have their own metabolism so they simply can't reproduce without a cell. That's why they are obligatory parasites. Living cells, on the other hand, can channel some of their metabolic energy to reproduce themselves, without having to take over something else's metabolism to do so, like viruses invariably have to.

Therefore, they do not possess organelles or the ability to reproduce independently.
Why do people sometimes say that viruses lack independent replication?
Viruses can not replicate without a living host cell. This is one reason that they are not considered to be alive.
How are viruses like non living things?
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.
Why can't we classify a virus as a living thing?
Viruses are not living things. Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own they can do nothing until they enter a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things.
