The smallest living thing that contains a nucleus is called what?
The atom is the smallest unit containing a nucleus. However, this is not considered living. The smallest living thing in the world (besides viruses) are a parasitic Bacterium called Mycoplasma Gallicepticum.
Are all viruses living?
Viruses are not alive in the first place, so no.
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.
Once a virus has entered a living cell what does it force the cell to do?
Once inside a living cell, a virus hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate itself, producing more viruses. It does this by taking control of the cell's protein synthesis and genetic material, ultimately leading to the destruction of the host cell when the new viruses are released.

Why are viruses called living as well as nonliving organisms?
Hapyy birthday to you
What are the differances viruses and bacteria?
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms
Paritcle of nucleic acid and protein that can reproduce only by infecting living cells?
These are called viruses.
Why antibiotics don't work on viruses?
Antibiotics do not work on viruses because viruses are not alive. A bacterium is a living, reproducing lifeform. A virus is just a piece of DNA (or RNA). A virus injects its DNA into a living cell and has that cell reproduce more of the viral DNA. With a virus there is nothing to "kill," so antibiotics don't work on it.
What do you call a person who studies the viruses?
A person who studies viruses is called a virologist. Virologists study the structure, evolution, and behavior of viruses to understand how they infect living organisms and cause diseases.
Viruses living or non living?
There actually living
What is the only characteristics shared by living cells and viruses?
Viruses are composed of two main parts: an outer protein covering called a capsid and an inside core of either DNA or RNA. Not both DNA and RNA. Living cells also contain DNA and RNA. These are the only thing shared by living cells and viruses.
Viruses depend on living things for what?
Viruses depend on living cells because they reproduce inside of them.
