What infectious agents is not living?
Viruses are the only non-biological infectious agents; all otheres are forms of pathogen, which are bacteria.
Virus is living or nonliving?
A virus is considered non-living. It does not have all the characteristics of a living thing unlike bacteria. Viruses need living cells to reproduce while any living things can reproduce (asexually or not).
Can cats get distemper from dogs?
No, cats cannot get distemper from dogs. Canine distemper virus specifically infects dogs and other members of the Canidae family, and does not affect cats. Cats are at risk for other diseases such as feline distemper (panleukopenia) or feline leukemia virus, but not distemper from dogs.

What is never part of a virus?
Viral Envelope
Why is virus not a kingdom?
Virus' are not living - they cannot exist outside a living organism, and therefore cannot be classified in the same way as other organisms
Can a virus sense?
No, viruses do not have the capacity to sense their environment or respond to stimuli in the way that living organisms can. They are simply genetic material that relies on host cells to replicate and spread.
Can a virus respond?
no
What are 2 ways that a virus is not like a living thing?
They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the membrane 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. They cannot make more viruses on their own. The do not respond to stimuli. If you could poke them, they would not respond. They do not reproduce on their own like a bacteria cell does. They do not absorb nutrients as living cells do.
Does a virus interact with their environment?
No, viruses do not interact with their environment in the same way that living organisms do. They do not respond to stimuli or exhibit behavior. Viruses are simply infectious agents that require a host cell to replicate.
What infectious agents cannot live outside of a human body for extended periods of time?
human immunodeficiency virus
Does virus respond to stimuli?
No, it doesn't. This is one of the reasons scientists classify viruses as not living.
Do viruses respond to a stimulus?
A stimulus causes your body to react, a response is something that is caused by a stimulus. Work it out, does the virus respond to you more or you to the virus?
Can a virus have cells?
No, a virus cannot have cells.
Can the HIV virus live outside the human body in fluids if not smeared?
Yes, infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate or breast milk.
What is a virus called outside a host cell?
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
