Viruses are not living things. Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own they can do nothing until they enter a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things.
When a virus encounters a cell, a series of chemical reactions occur that lead to the production of new viruses. These steps are completely passive, that is, they are predefined by the nature of the molecules that comprise the virus particle. Viruses don't actually 'do' anything. Often scientists and non-scientists alike ascribe actions to viruses such as employing, displaying, destroying, evading, exploiting, and so on. These terms are incorrect because viruses are passive, completely at the mercy of their environment

Viruses are not considered alive because they lack?
Some people argue that viruses are not alive because they lack any form of energy, carbon metabolism, and they canâ??t replicate or evolve. Therefore, they do not exhibit the same set of characteristics of all living things.
Do viruses have a place in the animal kingdom?

What are viruses not named by?

What are difference between bacteria and viruses.?
-viruses and alive but bacteria is -viruses spread but dont multiply or change in your body, bacteria are alive and are often evolving -viruses cannot be treated, but bacteria can be eliminated with chemincals and anitbiotics
Are viruses and bacteria alive?
bacteria is but for viruses some scientists believe they are alive and others think they dont so i can't give you an answer to that
Do all scientists believe viruses are alive?
Certainly not. It is a hotly debated subject. Viruses (and prions for that matter) are not alive in a conventional sense.

Since viruses are not alive they can not have life processes.
Why are viruses not classified into any five kingdom?
