Question

Viruses are living organisms.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me during an online exam.

I want to ask this question from Biological Classification topic in chapter Biological Classification of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) False

To explain I would say: Viruses are non-living organisms. They don’t have cell. They don’t reproduce or perform any metabolic activities when they are outside a living host. When they are inside a living host they do reproduce and multiply in numbers.
