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.
Can viruses reproduce by themselves?
No. Viruses must invade a host cell and hijack its resources to replicate itself.
What must be true for viruses to be able to replicate?
Viruses must infect a host cell in order to replicate. Once inside the host cell, the virus can hijack the cell's machinery to produce new viral particles. Without a host cell, viruses are unable to replicate.
Why is a virus not living?
A virus is not considered living because it cannot survive or replicate on its own. It requires a host cell to multiply and cannot carry out metabolic processes or reproduce without hijacking a host cell's machinery.
Why virus are called obligatory parasites?
They are obligate in the sense that they cannot replicate outside of a host cell. To make a copy of itself, a virus must first enter a cell (intracellular), hijack the machinations of said cell (parasitic behavior) and then copy itself.
Can viruses can reproduce by themselves?
No. Viruses must invade a host cell and hijack its resources to replicate itself.

Can viruses reproduce by themselves?
No. Viruses must invade a host cell and hijack its resources to replicate itself.
Do bacteria and viruses inhabit the same place in the cells?
Bacteria do not inhabit cells. Bacteria are one celled organisms that can live apart from other cells given the right environment (ie. food source, oxygen if an aerobic organism). Viruses, on the other hand, must invade a cell in order to multiply. Viruses use the cell's own internal "machinery" to reproduce to high numbers. At that point they break free from the host cell and go on to invade other cells.
Do viruses multiply the same way as other organism's?
no
These pathogens cannot reproduce on their own and they must invade other cells to multiply?
Viruses
What must be true for viruses to be able to replicate?

What are the nonliving chemicals?
Not sure of what you mean exactly but all viruses are non living entities. Viruses have a complex make up of molecules which include proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids, but on their own can do nothing. They must have a host cell in order to multiply. Once a host cell is encountered a series of chemical changes take place causing the cell to multiply. These chemical changes are completely passive.
Why must a cell break down food?
BECAUSE OTHERWISE MEXICANS WOLLD INVADE.
Do viruses only reproduce inside living things?
A Virus must invade a host cell in order to reproduce. What people commonly mix up with them is bacteria which has no need to
Why is a virus not living?
A virus is not considered living because it cannot survive or replicate on its own. It requires a host cell to multiply and cannot carry out metabolic processes or reproduce without hijacking a host cell's machinery.
What host cell must fit together exactly to begin a viral infection?
Cell wall
