How would you argue that viruses are not living things?

Biology
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Due to this, the finch beak <em>evolved and developed into a stronger longer beak</em> adapted to feeding on large hard seeds.

Without this evolution, all the finches left on the Galapagos island could face <em>extinction out of starvation.</em>

Drupady [299]
Those characteristics are cellular organization, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, response to stimuli, growth and development, and adaptation through evolution. Some things, such as a virus, demonstrate only a few of these characteristics and are, therefore, not alive.
