Viruses are generally considered to be nonliving. Should viroids and prions also be viewed as nonliving? Why or why not?

Sagot :

Yes they should be viewed as nonliving. Because viroids are just like viruses without protein coats. They are similar to viruses excepte the protein coat. And prions are like malfunctioned proteins. They cause diseases too but they are non-living too. Because they too, don't have any metabolics reactions.
