The individual parts of a cell are not alive. One reason is that the cell is the basic unit of living things, and the individual parts of a cell are not themselves cells, therefore they are not living.

How are viruses like non living things?

Viruses are not alive. They are infectious particles. They hijack a living cell's DNA and force it to make viruses parts instead of living cell parts. The cell is made to assemble to parts and the new viruses bust out of the cell, killing it, and infect more cells.

Do Viruses multiply through binary fission?

No, they do not. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again.No, only living cells divide by binary fission. Viruses are not alive.

What living characteristic does a virus have?

Viruses are not alive in any sense and have no living characteristics. They are hijackers of living cells. Their DNA (or RNA) take over the cell nucleus and instead of making cell parts, the cell now makes virus parts. These parts are assembled (like building a Lego model) and when the cell is full, the cell membrane breaks, the cells dies and the viruses escape and highjack other cells. Viruses do not breathe, eat, digest, and do not have any life processes.

Why should a virus enter a host cell?

Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive. They are nonliving. They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dogs coat. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These parts can assemble into more viruses and then they breakout of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They can not make more viruses on their own.
