Which microorganisns cannot multiply on their own?
Viruses cannot reproduce on their own. They must invade and infect other cells in order to be able to reproduce.
Which is different between bacteria and viruses that shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses are not?
Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.
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.
Why would viruses not grow on milk?
Viruses require living cells to replicate and grow. Milk does not contain living cells, so viruses cannot infect or reproduce in milk. Additionally, milk has natural defense mechanisms, such as enzymes and antibodies, that can inhibit the growth of viruses.
What is a characteristic of viruses?
Viruses are non-living entities that require a host cell to replicate. They contain genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses can cause a wide range of diseases in various organisms.
Do viruses require a host in order to reproduce?
Yes, viruses require a host in order to reproduce. They cannot replicate on their own and rely on infecting a host cell to reproduce and spread.
What is the similarities in temperate and virulent viruses?
They both require a host cell to reproduce and they are both types of viruses
Which microorganisns cannot multiply on their own?
Viruses cannot reproduce on their own. They must invade and infect other cells in order to be able to reproduce.

Which difference between bacteria and viruses shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses are not?
Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.
Which is difference between bacteria and viruses that shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses not?
Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to "hijack" so they can reproduce. Bacteria have metabolisms, catabolic and anabolic biochemical reactions going on in their cells all the time. Viruses do not. Bacteria can grow in size to a certain extent while viruses do not change in this regard. The definition of living things classify bacteria as a living thing, while viruses are not.
What circumstances can viruses reproduce?
Only within a living cell that they can take control of.
Which of the following is inaccurate in relation to viruses they have nuclei acid core they feature a capsid they seek out a specific host they reproduce independently?
they reproduce independentlyThis is a false statement as viruses need a host cell and it's replicative machinery to reproduce their genetic material.
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.
What viruses are also able to reproduce but only by using the reproductive mechanisms of what?
a host cell
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.
What difference between bacteria and viruses shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses?
Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to.
