Answers

Answered by anushkaparikh05

Answer:

Explanation: Viruses act like they are dead when they are outside of an animal or a plant's body. While, they show some signs of life when they are inside someone's body.

This is due to the absence of cell membrane in the virus. Viruses do not have their own cell membrane and thus they act like they are dead. Viruses also cannot reproduce on their own; they need a host cell to reproduce.
