How would you argue that viruses are not living things?

Biology

avanturin [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Well if your saying "NOT A LIVING THING" here is my thought

Explanation:

Virurses host to living things and cells, (think of venom the movie)  they infect  life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea. Now your probably saying "wait that's an argument that viruses are a living thing," I just want to say the facts first.

My thought on viruses are not living things, viruses dont have blood or organs, nor a brain. Their like plants they feed off sun and water, then die after their seeds fall. In this case they find a animal feed off their organs and infect parts of the body. Then die after a bunch of other viruses go into the body, then pooped out and repeated. They wait for some thing to eat or touch ,then entering the body. They dont move just what ever they touch is infected. AND they dont create their own energy or wast.

Hope fully this will help. you can use this to put into your own words and take parts out of it.

For example, while most plants receive nutrients from soil, some live in soils which do not fully meet their needs. Such plants sometimes kill and use animals in order to meet these needs (i.e. venus flytrap) or partner with bacteria that produce some of the nutrients they need (i.e legumes).
