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.
How do you get rid of a bloodhound virus that Norton Virus cannot fix?
# Disable system restore (otherwise the virus will return) http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001111912274039?OpenDocument&src=sec_doc_nam # Start your PC in safe mode. do this by pressing F8 when the computer is starting up. # Run norton antivirus and it should be able to find and delete the virus # Restart the computer # Enable system restore
What causes distemper in cattle?
Distemper in cattle is caused by a virus. The virus is usually spread from animal to animal, the virus can originate in other animals and spread to cattle.
What is never part of a virus?
Viral Envelope
What is a following reason that a virus can be considered nonliving?
A virus can be considered nonliving because it cannot carry out metabolic processes independently; it requires a host cell to replicate and perform functions necessary for life. Additionally, viruses do not possess cellular structures or organelles, which are essential characteristics of living organisms. They exist in a dormant state outside of a host, lacking the ability to grow or respond to stimuli on their own.
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.
What are 3 things that viruses cannot do?
Viruses cannot reproduce on their own, as they require a host cell to replicate and produce new virus particles. They also lack cellular structures and metabolic processes, meaning they cannot carry out functions like energy production or protein synthesis independently. Additionally, viruses cannot respond to environmental stimuli in the way living organisms do, as they do not possess the machinery for sensing or reacting to their surroundings.
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.
