Understanding about viruses alive or not: virologist

Abstract

Viruses alive first we have to define life it's not very easy to do and many people disagree on the exact definition on what is living but we have to have a definition otherwise we can't answer the question of whether viruses are alive or not so here we go something that's living should have most of these following properties it should be composed of one or more cells it should have homeostasis this is the ability to regulate important properties such as pH or temperature it should have the ability to make or generate energy to grow and to adapt to new environments by evolution also to respond to stimuli like a plant moving towards light and of course it must be able to make more of itself to reproduce here's a model of a simple virus that happens to be poliovirus
