organisms.

EQ Why are viruses considered to be non
living Characteristics Nonliving particles made of nucleic acid and a protein coat enlosed in a capsid shell In order to reproduce all viruses must have a . A . virus. is a small . infectious agent. that can replicate only inside the living cells of organisms. Most viruses are too small to be seen directly with a . microscope. . Viruses infect all types of organisms, from . Protists. , Fungi. Chapter 7. Grade 7 Science. Viruses. _____ - a tiny, non-living particle invades and then multiplies inside of a living cell..
