An organism is living. It can survive on its own with appropriate needs, such as nutrition.
A virus is not truly living or non-living. It can not live on its own, but will not die on its own either. A virus is nucleic acids encased in a protein shell. It order to live, it must enter a cell, and take it over.
A virus is a small infectious agent that can only replicate inside the living cells of an organism. A host is an organism that provides nourishment and a habitat for another organism. A parasite is an organism that lives on or inside another organism (the host) and benefits at the host's expense.
An organism that can provide a source of energy for a virus or another organism is called a host. The host organism can provide resources and nutrients necessary for the growth and reproduction of the virus or another organism that depends on it for survival.
a singe celled is a prokaryote and multi celled is a eukaryote
A virus is a microscopic infectious agent that can cause diseases. A disease, on the other hand, refers to a particular condition or illness that affects the functioning of a living organism. So, a virus can be the cause of a disease, but not all diseases are caused by viruses.
Yes, a virus can grow and replicate within a host organism by hijacking the host's cellular machinery to produce more virus particles.
A virus is an organism consisting of DNA or RNA and sometimes of a protective coating. An infection is a condition when a virus, bacteria, or fungus grows largely unchecked within the body of a much larger organism and causes that larger organism to become ill or to die.
A virus runs in a thread, as do all programs. The difference between a generic thread and a virus is that the thread may not be harmful, while the virus generally is.
The difference is the color
The difference between a common animal virus and a retrovirus is that a retrovirus only contains RNA while a common animal virus will have DNA or RNA.
A population is a group of organisms and an organism is but one.
Organism has a 'ism' on the end but organ doesn't
A pathogenic bacterium is alive while a virus is not.
A virus is a small infectious agent that can only replicate inside the living cells of an organism. A host is an organism that provides nourishment and a habitat for another organism. A parasite is an organism that lives on or inside another organism (the host) and benefits at the host's expense.
Computer virus' attack switches whereas human virus' affect cells.

The difference between HIV and AIDS is that HIV is the virus that causes the disease AIDS. You can be a carrier of the HIV virus and not contract the disease but you can infect others.
Bacteria has both DNA and RNA where as Virus has either DNA or RNA
