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.
Viruses do not have complex membranes like eukaryotic organisms have. Viruses also do not have cells, nor are they technically living organisms. There is no need for viruses to control the movement of material in and out of the viral particles.
Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.
No. Viruses are not cells. They invade cells to get the materials to copy their DNA. Many people do not consider viruses to be truly alive.
It depends on the virus. Viruses may have a very specific host range.
Viruses are non-living entities that require a host cell to replicate. They contain genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses can cause a wide range of diseases in various organisms.
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
viruses are unicellular organisms
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms
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.
viruses are non cellular , they have no sexual or asexual reproduction they reproduce by replication
Viruses do not have complex membranes like eukaryotic organisms have. Viruses also do not have cells, nor are they technically living organisms. There is no need for viruses to control the movement of material in and out of the viral particles.
Neither - viruses do not eat. There are debates about whether viruses are a form of life, or organic structures that interact with living organisms.
Yes, viruses are considered microbes because they are microscopic organisms that are capable of causing infections in living organisms.
Viruses are things that spread and contain germs. An Organism is a living thing.
