Absence of respiration is what type of character of a virus :
Non living.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option (B) Non-living.

Explanation:

• Viruses don't do any energy excretion actions.
• The only thing they do is replicate themselves.
• They do this with or without oxygen.
• Generally viruses are neither aerobic or anaerobic.
• They are single cell organisms.
• Viruses can't metabolize food to release energy or for growth.
• Viruses are generally a non-living creature.
• They depend on a host to replicate their copies.
• This typically occurs by the virus inserting its genetic material in host cells, co-opting the proteins to create viral replicates, until the cell bursts from the high volume of new viral particles.
• A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism.
• Most viruses have icosahedral or helical capsid structure, although a few have complex virion architecture.
• It is an infectious microbe consisting of a segment of nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat.
