True or false : viruses are classified by scientists as living things .

Your answer should be False.

Most biologists say no. Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms. (Khan Academy)

Hope this helps! =^-^=

False, a virus is not a living thing.
