Well, to be fair, this is a bit of a tough question because it's in question by some of the leading microbiologists right now.
But one argument for this is their ability to reproduce. Note that one of the leading arguments for something to be alive is that they are subject to evolution and hence natural selection: the statements for which argue that there has to be differentiation within a species (meaning there has to be different forms of each virus within a type of virus) and there has to be reproduction-- which is where the problem comes along (because viruses could only reproduce while in a host). So one argument that can be made that they are in-fact alive, is that they reproduce and is subject to evolution.
Do know however that this is HIGHLY controversial-- and if your teacher asks it, it's most likely not a right-or-wrong answer
If he does do it that way, maybe you could show off your brainy-bio knowledge by explaining to him why it shouldn't be so!
Answer:
Fungi are eukaryotic organisms belonging to the kingdom fungi that are very widespread in most Earth habitats where they are primarily involved in recycling of nutrients and the decomposition of organic matter such that they aid in completing the food web and enabling the balanced ecosystem
In humans, fungi have the harmful effect of causing illnesses such as asthma, eye infections and are likely associated to alzheimer's disease as well as several other serious and some potentially lethal health conditions
However, fungi are known to aid humanity in such aspects including;
Natural pesticides
Agriculture
Food production
Medicine
Explanation:
Natural pesticides
Fungi which are pathogen of specific insect pest aid in the minimization of the harmful effect of pests on food crops such that microbial fungi pesticides can be sourced in the market
Agriculture
Fungi are necessary for the survival and growth of up to 80% of all grasses and trees
Food production
Fungi are well known for their role in bread, bear, and wine making and fungi are also used to ripen cheese
Medicine
Fungi are also used in the making of medicinal drugs such as penicillin G. Fungi and cyclosporine
