Tap to reveal answer
Viruses are considered non-living organisms for a variety of reasons. One of the main reasons is that viruses are incapable of creating their own proteins and must hijack host cell ribosomes in order to make them.
Virus structures contain both proteins and nucleic acids, but are unable to replicate their genetic material unless they infect a host cell.
