Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.
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.
Yes **G1N4** I thought some living things are not organisms, because they are not free living.
There isn't a single "founder" of viruses as they are naturally occurring entities. Viruses have been evolving alongside other living organisms for billions of years. The study of viruses and their impact on living organisms is an ongoing area of research in virology.
Viruses have some characteristics of life but these are not considered living organisms as they are non cellular.
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms
No viruses should not be considered living organisms because they require a host to live &therefore are not an organism but an infestation.
viruses are on the borderline of living and non living while organisms are living, viruses are simple structured, they have a DNA strand surrounded by a protein coat and sometimes a tail while organisms consist of complex cells

Yes, viruses are considered microbes because they are microscopic organisms that are capable of causing infections in living organisms.

All animals are living, but viruses are classified as non-living organisms.
Viruses are things that spread and contain germs. An Organism is a living thing.

Bacteria are prokaryotes. Viruses are not living organisms, virus is a virus, that is all.
Well, if you consider a cell a living organism, then yes. A virus is a living organism because, like cells, they usually regulate in your body. On a certain basis, viruses can be extremely harmful, causing sickness among its host. Otherwise, viruses are injected inside a host(viruses are already dead) to help prevent illness and create an immunity.
