Question
why are viruses not considered fully alive? they cannot evolve they do not use energy or respond to their environment they grow and regulate their bodies they are made of cells
Viruses are not considered fully alive because they lack many of the characteristics of living organisms. They do not use energy or respond to their environment on their own. While they can evolve (through mutation and natural selection when they infect host cells), the option stating "They cannot evolve" is incorrect. Viruses do not grow and regulate their bodies in the way living organisms do, and they are not made of cells.
