What makes virus nonliving?
1. The virus cannot reproduce on its own, it needs to have a host cell to help it reproduce. 2. The virus is not even a single-celled organism! 3. The virus can't even function on its own! The virus needs to have a host cell to live! 4. The virus does not grow on the inside of the protein coat. 5. The virus only has two main parts: the DNA and the protein coat, which protects the DNA.
