Detailed explanation-1: -Viruses are considered as something between living and non-living because they do not grow or reproduce by themselves. This makes them non-living. However, when a virus enters a living cell of an organism, it obtains energy from the host cell and starts reproducing.
Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses are not made out of cells, they can’t keep themselves in a stable state, they don’t grow, and they can’t make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
Detailed explanation-3: -Viruses, virions, and viroids are all examples of non-cellular life. Viruses are parasites that infect plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria.
Detailed explanation-4: -They don’t have cytoplasm or cellular organelles, and they’re not cells. Within the infected host cell, new viruses are produced and assembled. The viruses are inactive outside of the host. They are unable to reproduce or develop outside of the host cell. More items
