Viruses are not classified as living or non-lving. They grow and cause you sickness but that's about it ......

Do viruses react?

Living things have to be able to: Reproduce, Obtain and use energy, Grow, Develop, and Die, Respond to the environment.

They dont have most characteristic of life.

They dont have most characteristic of life.

So they should be NON-Living

# data[].attributes.body
They can't do the seven characteristics on their own

They should be considered not living due to them not begin able to grow in their protein cell.

they should also be considered alive because they have genetic material and RNA

a virus is little more than a strand of DNA or RNA covered by protein

if a virus consumes energy through a host cell where does it rid of its waste? does it even eat?

Viruses should be considered Alive due to them having a small amount of DNA.

they lack the ability to reproduce without the aid of a host cell.

In my opinion, I believe viruses are not classified as alive. I say this because they do not grow. Although they do perform some of the seven characteristics of living, they cannot do it on their own. And lastly, they cannot reproduce without the help of the host cell, and living things reproduce. So all in all, they are not a living thing.

I believe viruses are alive. They have DNA/RNA and they are there for a purpose. They have the DNA/RNA which allows them to almost think and preform a task.

viruses should be considered alive because they are made out of genetic material and made with RNA as well. Most living things have dna

I think Viruses are living because it has most of the 7 types of character traits to be titled a living thing. I think viruses are living because it takes in energy, reproduce, and they are made out of a cell.

I think that viruses are not alive. They may show most of the characteristics of life, but they need a "host cell". For something to be considered alive, they need to show the the characteristics on their own, which a virus cannot do. They need to display all of the
characteristics of life on their own.

# data[].attributes.body
I think viruses are non-living organisms. Some non-living organisms may have one or more of the characteristics of living organisms but not all of them. All living things are made up of cells, but viruses do not have cells. Viruses need the help of a living cell so that it may function, they need a host cell to live and reproduce. Also, viruses doesn't grow and they also do not need food.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that viruses can be alive because as soon as they come in contact with a host cell, it acts as a living thing because they are able to reproduce, act on its own, and acquire "energy". Also, it has a strand of RNA or DNA that has another characteristic of a living thing.
