Are Viruses Living or Nonliving? They are only considered living when they are inside of a host cell, using their resources and energy. Outside of a host they are considered intert. When are Viruses considered to be "alive"? When they are inside of a host cell. When inside, their nucleic acid (ONLY RNA OR DNA) become active. *Virus replicates Obligatory Intracellular Parasites Require livinghost cell in order to multiply - Such as Viruses. Defining a Virus 1) Contains 1 Nucleic Aci...
