Viruses have no cells‚ nucleus‚ cytoplasm or cell membrane. Viruses consist of tiny particles of nucleic acid

Are viruses alive? Explain why you think viruses are alive or not. Viruses are not alive. This is because even though viruses are made up of molecules (proteins‚ nucleic acids‚ carbohydrates and lipids)‚ they cannot do anything on their own‚ until they enter or come into contact with a living cell. Viruses cannot multiply without having a host cell to initiate the process. Another reason would be that viruses don’t actually do anything on their own. Whenever a virus comes into contact with a cell

Anatomy of the Male Reproductive System Scrotum The scrotum is a sac-like organ made of skin and muscles that houses the testes. It is located inferior to the penis in the pubic region. The scrotum is made up of 2 side-by-side pouches with a testis located in each pouch. The smooth muscles that make up the scrotum allow it to regulate the distance between the testes and the rest of the body. When the testes become too warm to support spermatogenesis‚ the scrotum relaxes to move the testes away
