Why is a virus considered non living

Biology
1 answer:
nasty-shy [4]3 years ago
8 0
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.

What are tides? What causes the tides here on Earth?
Semenov [28]
High tides and low tides are caused by the Moon. The Moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth and its water to bulge out on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

What does the process of diffusion do for the cell
dybincka [34]

Diffusion is important to the cell because it is the process by which useful molecules enter the cell and waste products removed from the cell.

Without diffusion, cells and tissues of the body can not get important nutrients and gases for survival and would die.

An example is the eye. The eyes lack a great  number of blood vessels (which carry oxygen that diffuses into cells) and must have an extra supply of oxygen. The atmosphere provides the extra needed oxygen which is taken up into the cells of the eye by diffusing through the cornea and thus the eye is kept functioning. If this does not happen , the eye would dry out.

What is the best explanation of why AZT slows the progression of HIV​
olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

(AZT) was the first antiretroviral drug used in HIV and AIDS. It is expensive and has several adverse effects including nausea, vomiting, blood problems and myopathy. The review of trials found that AZT does delay the early progression of HIV disease, but this improvement is not sustained. AZT alone does not increase survival for people without AIDS.
