Question

Are viruses living or non-living?

Answer 1

Viruses are not cells. They do not have a cell membrane or other components of living cells.
- Living host cells are required for their reproduction. Outside of the host, they act as nonliving chemicals.
-They do not metabolize or respond to stimuli.
-They have genetic material and can therefore mutate and evolve.
-They form parasitic relationships with living organisms; the virus benefits at the expense of the living organism.
