Answer:

Viruses did not find a place in classification since they are not truly 'living'. This is based on the understanding that living organisms that have a cell structure. The viruses are non-cellular organisms. They, in fact, have an inert crystalline structure outside the living cell.

Viruses did not find a place in classification since they are not truly 'living'. This is based on the understanding that living organisms that have a cell structure. The viruses are non-cellular organisms. They, in fact, have an inert crystalline structure outside the living cell.The five kingdom classification was introduced by R.H. Whittaker (given in 1961), profoundly an American taxonomist, he divided all the organism into five kingdoms. As the viruses are on the borderline of the living beings and nonliving beings, they have been left out. In order to provide a phylogenetic classification, Whittaker has used the five criteria for delimiting the different kingdoms.

1) Complexity of the cell structure, the procaryotic and eucaryotic entities.

2) Complexity of the body structure or structural organisation, unicellular and multicellualar.

3) The mode of nutrition which is divergent in a multicellular kingdom- photoautotrophy in plantae, absorptive heterotrophy in fungi and investive heterotrophy in animalia.

The virus is a nucleoprotein entity which is able to utilise the synthetic machinery of a living cell of another organism for its own benefit of multiplication which never involves the growth factor and its actual division.

Virus is hence, known as an olbigste parasite. It is inert outside the cell making it a nonliving thing the inert viruses are known as virion. The reason of not being selected to the five kingdoms classification was its deviation towards the nonliving and living characteristics which made it differ for a long time. They don't have a biosynthetic or a proper machinery for its function which makes no system to able to perform, synthesise and liberate chemical or heat energy. It can be crystallised and stored for a long indefinite period of time, making it easier fro virologists to study the 3-D Crystallographic and the pure images of the structure along with the use of it.

Much more details have been given in my previously answered questions, by referring them, they itslef include the theoretical (often scarification of scientific claims) or true readings, they satisfy the criteria for the rejection to this five kingdom classification.

Answer:

Viruses did not find a place in classification because they are not truely living. They are non- cellular organisms. They are inactive outside host cell and active inside host cell.
