A. Is a Virus Alive? 1. Viruses are segments of nucleic acids contained in a protein coat. 2. Pathogens are agents that cause disease. 3. Viruses do not grow‚ do not have homeostasis‚ and do not metabolize‚ therefore scientists don’t consider them to be living. 4. Discovery of Viruses i. Scientists filtered bacteria from the sap of infected plants‚ and were surprised to find that the filtered sap could still cause uninfected plants to become infected. ii. In 1935‚ Wendell Stanley of the Rockefeller

a plasma membrane. Could this be the recipe for elementary life? Viruses are one of the simplest forms of organized organic material to arise in evolution. They are infamously the most efficient at reproducing while simultaneously eliminating competition which are two of the most fundamental characteristics of life. Despite these remarkable abilities‚ most biologists are in agreement that these simple structures are in no way living. I would disagree with this statement. When first approaching this
