1. Life is considered life because of a few rules that all life follows, if you are an organism and one of these statements doesn’t apply to you more than likely you are not a living organism.

If you can only reproduce in certain conditions then you do not get a check in this section because it is a what if question. That if a virus got into a host cell, then it would reproduce, what if it didn’t get in a host cell, and then it would not reproduce. On top of this viruses do not respire and do not have a cellular
