Pd. 5 Viruses: Are They Among the Living?! by Jennifer Homoki https://padlet.com/jhomoki/qrb9j6w9c4kh Post a comment on if you think viruses should be considered alive or not and use data from our discussions/notes to back up your claim. Then respond to at least one other person, either elaborating on their claim or asking them a question. en-us 2017-09-21 12:32:39 UTC 2026-01-31 04:21:18 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Soccerball.png 21mstumpo https://padlet.com/jhomoki/qrb9j6w9c4kh/wish/194349300 I think viruses are not living because without a host cell there barely is an agreement for the other side.

I believe viruses are alive because 
viruses reproduce and have DNA.
