Question

Why viruses are on the borderline between living or non living things?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey Friend, here's your answer.

Viruses do not show any metabolic activities when they are freely suspended or are on non-living things such as doorknobs, but when they enter a living host such as a biological cell, they quickly multiply inside the cell just like a living organism, and infect the cell. Thus viruses are on the borderline between living and non-living things.
