Why do professional biologists think invisible molecular movement is necessary for life?
- Because viruses show no visible movement, proving that molecular movement is essential for life.
- Because the breakdown of molecular order in an organism leads to the loss of life.
- Because invisible molecular movement is a common evidence for being alive.
- Because living organisms need to maintain their structures, which is only possible with molecular movement. (correct)
What is a common evidence for being alive, according to the text?

- Visible color change in plants
- Invisible molecular movement
- Maintenance of tissue structures
- Visible growth-related movement (correct)
Why is there controversy about whether viruses are truly alive or not?
Why is there controversy about whether viruses are truly alive or not?
- They do not maintain their structures, leading to the breakdown of molecular order.
- They infect cells and show molecular movement, which supports their status as living organisms.
- Their invisible molecular movement is not necessary for life, according to professional biologists.
- They show no visible movement, which contradicts the common evidence for being alive. (correct)
