viveus
? 2​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nonliving characteristics include the fact that they are not cells, have no cytoplasm or cellular organelles, and carry out no metabolism on their own and therefore must replicate using the host cell's metabolic machinery. Viruses can infect animals, plants, and even other microorganisms.

Explanation:

Answer 2

SOME CHARACTERISTIC OF VIRUSES ARE:-

• Viruses are infectious agents with both living and nonliving characteristics.
• Living characteristics of viruses include the ability to reproduce – but only in living host cells – and the ability to mutate.
• Nonliving characteristics include the fact that they are not cells, have no cytoplasm or cellular organelles, and carry out no metabolism on their own and therefore must replicate using the host cell's metabolic machinery.
• Viruses can infect animals, plants, and even other microorganisms.
• Since viruses lack metabolic machinery of their own and are totally dependent on their host cell for replication, they cannot be grown in synthetic culture media.
