discussed that all living organisms have seven properties incommon: (1) they grow and develop, (2) interact/respond to theenvironment, (3) reproduce, (4) process energy, (5) self-regulate,(6) are ordered/organized, and (7) evolve/adapt. Viruses, however,represent a challenge to this because they do not self regulate orprocess energy, which has led to many scientists not classifyingviruses as living and say they are simply particles. Based on whatyou know from, should viruses be considered living? There is noright answer to this, just support your position.
