What else can I help you with?
ARE Viruses are a type of cell?
The type of cells that viruses live in are host cells. Viruses need host cells in order to reproduce or multiply.
What trait does a virus shares with other living things is the ability to?
The trait that viruses share with other living things is the ability to reproduce, but they require a host cell to do so. Viruses lack cellular structures and cannot carry out metabolic processes on their own, making them dependent on host cells for replication.
Are viruses living cells?
No, they are not alive at all.
Viruses can reproduce only inside what?
host cells!
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.
Is a host a living thing as in cells?
Yes, the host is living, whether it be a host for a virus, a worm, or a bacterium.
ARE Viruses are a type of cell?
The type of cells that viruses live in are host cells. Viruses need host cells in order to reproduce or multiply.
Does everything in the world have cells?
Well, things that are not alive are made up of matter, or ATOMS. Alive things are made of cells. The cell theory is: THE CELL THEORY l. All cells come from cells ll. Cells can only die from the host in which the cell is held in dies lll. ALL LIVING THINGS ARE COMPOSED OF CELLS

Are viruses living cells?
No, they are not alive at all.
Viruses do not contradict the idea that all living things are made of cells because?
viruses are not considered to be living organisms as they lack the cellular structure and cannot carry out cellular functions on their own. They can only replicate by hijacking the machinery of living cells. Therefore, viruses do not challenge the concept that all living things are made of cells.
Do biologists consider viruses living or nonliving?
Biologists consider dormant virions to be non-living because they must obtain a host to function and replicate themselves. However, active viruses are considered to be living, by most scientists.
Are predators consider to be free living?
yes. Because ther is no need for a host.
Do all the living things have cells?
All living things are made up of cells. Organisms made up of 1 cell are known as unicellular organisms where as organisms made up of many cells are known as multicellular organisms.
Viruses can reproduce only inside what?
host cells!
Why do viruses not contradict the idea that all living things are made of cells because?
A virus is an extremely small cell. You can have big cells and little cells. Viruses aren't considered to be alive because they depend on a host cell for energy and reproduction.
Why do you consider viruses as non living outside host?
Viruses either have a strand of DNA or RNA not both like living organisms. They need a host (you and me) in order to replicate.
