What provides energy for an virus?
Viruses do not have cellular machinery to produce their own energy. Instead, they rely on host cells to provide the energy needed for viral replication and production of new virus particles.
Explain why a virus might exist for years and only become active once it comes into contact with a living cell?
A virus can remain dormant for years because it is not a living organism and does not have the ability to replicate on its own. Once it comes into contact with a living cell, the virus can hijack the cell's machinery to replicate itself and cause an infection. The activation of the virus is triggered by specific signals or conditions present in the host cell.
A virus needs a _____________ to reproduce?
There is no other living thing that requires a virus in order to reproduce.
What is a very small living thing called?
A very small living thing is called a microorganism, such as a bacterium or a virus. These organisms are microscopic and can only be seen with the help of a microscope.
An organism that provides a source of energy or a suitable environment for a virus or for another organism to live?
A host organism is one that provides a source of energy or a suitable environment for a virus or another organism to live and thrive. The host may not always benefit from this relationship and can sometimes suffer harm from the presence of the virus or other organism.
What living thing provides energy for a virus or an organism?
parasites
What provides energy for an virus?

What directly provides energy for virus?
A virus uses the host energy making organelles to produce its' energy requirements.
What provides the energy for a virus?
viruses dot need energy.
What is the energy source of the flu virus?
The flu virus is a non-living thing, so it doesn't have its own energy source. To reproduce, it hijacks the cells of a living being, such as the upper respiratory cells of a human, and uses the energy of those cells to make more copies of itself.
What directly provides sunlight to a virus?
Sunlight does not directly provide energy or nutrients to a virus. Viruses are not considered living organisms and do not undergo metabolic processes like photosynthesis. They rely on host cells for replication and survival.
What is a Living organism within a virus called?
There is no such thing. viruses are so very small that a living thing could not live inside one. But a virus inside a living thing could be called latent if it is not causing a disease or active if it is.
How does a Swine Flu virus get energy?
It steals it from its host. A virus enters the cells of the host animal and changes the cell's DNA/RNA to make it stop doing what it usually does for the host and start working on making copies of the virus using the host's resources and energy. A virus is not a living thing, so it must have a living thing work for it to make replications in a "reproductive" process. The reproductive process of the influenza viruses is the Lytic Cycle. See more about that in the related questions.

Why is a virus particle not considered a living thing?
no metabolism
Is rhinovirus a living thing?
Mostly No. A rhinovirus is a type of virus. A virus does not completely fit the accepted definition of a living entity.
A is not a living thing it is made of genetic material inside a protein coat?
Virus
