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.

Change of one form of energy into other can occur according to the law of conservation of energy.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can not be created or destroyed. However, one energy form can be transformed into another form. These energy transformations also occur in ecosystems.  

In the given example, the solar energy from the Sun was used by seagrass to perform the process of photosynthesis.

During the process, the energy from sunlight was converted into the chemical energy of organic nutrients (glucose). Part of these nutrients is used by seagrass as an energy source while rest is stored in its tissues. The transformation of radiant energy from the Sun into the chemical energy of nutrients present in seagrass follows the law of conversation of energy.

Which characteristic do protozoans Foraminiferans (Phylum Sarcodines) and coccolithophores (Phylum Haptophyta) have in common?
shtirl [24]

The common characteristic of those two organisms is hard spherical shells (exoskeleton).

Foraminiferans are single cell marine eukaryotes divided into granular endoplasm and transparent ectoplasm. Foraminiferans are enveloped with tests, hard shells, usually composed of calcium carbonate (sometimes from organic compounds or silica).

Coccolithophore is a unicellular, eukaryotic alga with special calcium carbonate plates (or scales) of uncertain function (coccoliths). Each unicellular alga is enclosed in its own collection of coccoliths, the which make up its exoskeleton- coccosphere.
