1. The virus cannot reproduce on its own, it needs to have a host cell to help it reproduce.
2. The virus is not even a single-celled organism!
3. The virus can't even function on its own! The virus needs to have a host cell to live!
4. The virus does not grow on the inside of the protein coat.
5. The virus only has two main parts: the DNA and the protein coat, which protects the DNA.
an oxymoron, maybe a virus, something that died
A virus can be considered nonliving because it cannot carry out metabolic processes independently; it requires a host cell to replicate and perform functions necessary for life. Additionally, viruses do not possess cellular structures or organelles, which are essential characteristics of living organisms. They exist in a dormant state outside of a host, lacking the ability to grow or respond to stimuli on their own.
The nonliving material that makes up the Earth includes rocks, minerals, soil, water, and air. These components play a crucial role in shaping the Earth's landscape, providing essential resources for life, and influencing various geological processes and systems.
Viruses exhibit some characteristics of living organisms, such as the ability to reproduce, but only within a host cell, and they can evolve over time. However, they lack key features of life, including cellular structure, metabolism, and independent growth. Outside a host, viruses are inert, existing as simple protein-coated genetic material. This duality is what makes viruses unique, straddling the line between living and nonliving entities.
Iancelet is nonliving.
a virus
Viruses are nonliving and that fact makes it hard for us to come up with antivirals.
No. It is nonliving.
at first i was crying but then it just hit me it was a stupied virus
No: Mumps is a virus, and by definition viruses are nonliving, neither dead or alive.
A virus is considered non-living. It does not have all the characteristics of a living thing unlike bacteria. Viruses need living cells to reproduce while any living things can reproduce (asexually or not).
Since viruses are nonliving, they are not given genus and species names. This virus is called the Ebola hemorrhagic virus (EHV).

protein makes up the coat of a virus
Cellulose.
It is nonliving like all viruses and are not effected by sub zero temperatures.
There is some debate about the status of a virus, whether it is living, not living, or some intermediary condition.
