Where do viruses replicate?

-outside of cells
-inside of cells
-on inanimate objects
-in the atmosphere

The correct answer is- Inside of cell.

Viruses are non living, noncellular genetic elements that require a living organism as a host to replicate. They are also known as obligate intracellular parasites.

They use the replication machinery of host in order to make more viral copies. They can replicate through two mechanisms that is Lysogenic ( where they integrate the the genome into host genome) and lytic cycle ( in which they perform the lyses of the host cell).

Example- Bacteriophage ( a virus that infects bacteria).

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.    

the farther away the object is from the central star (the sun) it's gravitainal pull on the object is weaker when it is farther
