What do you conclude concerning whether viruses are alive? Is there a clear-cut distinction between living things and non-living things?

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Viruses are considered non living by many scientists because they are not made of cells and they don't create their own energy. Instead they are proteins and genetic material that survive and replicate inside another form of life.
