How are viruses similar to living organisms and how are they different?
Viruses are similar to living organisms because both contain hereditary material (RNA or DNA), and both reproduce. Viruses are different from living organisms because they do not use energy to grow, and do not use energy to respond to their surroundings.
How are viruses like organisms?
Well, if you consider a cell a living organism, then yes. A virus is a living organism because, like cells, they usually regulate in your body. On a certain basis, viruses can be extremely harmful, causing sickness among its host. Otherwise, viruses are injected inside a host(viruses are already dead) to help prevent illness and create an immunity.
In what ways are viruses and bacteria similar?
Viruses and bacteria are both microscopic organisms that can cause infections in living organisms. They are different from each other in terms of structure and how they reproduce, but they can both cause diseases in humans, animals, and plants.
Are viruses considered microbes?
Yes, viruses are considered microbes because they are microscopic organisms that are capable of causing infections in living organisms.
Viruses are living organisms?
Viruses are not considered living organisms because they cannot carry out basic functions without a host cell. They lack the ability to replicate on their own and do not have cellular structures like other living organisms.
What are the differances viruses and bacteria?
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms

What are the differences between properties of viruses and properties of organisms?
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
Which is different between bacteria and viruses that shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses are not?

Viruses have some of the properties of living organisms which is a characteristic of all organisms but NOT of viruses?
One of the characteristics is they contain genetic material (DNA), which is a characteristic that all living things must have in order to be considered living. And also when inside a host, they are able to reproduce, which all living things must be able to do.
Which animals are non-living?
All animals are living, but viruses are classified as non-living organisms.
How are viruses and organisms different?
