Viruses are not considered living organisms because they lack some of the basic characteristics of life.

The cell is described as the smallest unit of life. Since viruses are not alive, we can infer that they do not contain one or more cells. Viruses have a protective protein coat, which can be considered a defined boundary.

Viruses are not capable of producing or using their own energy. They only activate when they come into contact with a host cell and then use the host cell's energy.

As per the pattern, viruses do not have internal organization nor metabolic processes which would allow for growth, therefore, viruses do not grow nor do they produce waste in any form.

Why do field researchers and laboratory researchers use tools that are similar and tools that are different

34kurt

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

These two types of research, that is, in the laboratory and in the field, are very different from each other for a number of reasons. For one, the study is conducted on a much larger scale when it is done in the field as compared to when it is confined in the lab.

Tools such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction) would be common between the two since there is no substitute for it. However, other tools used that have various other purposes will be different between the lab and the field. For instance, a quadrant will be used to count plants in a field, but none is needed in the lab due to a smaller number of plants being studied.
