Influenzа viruses cоntаin аn RNA genоme surrоunded by a protein capsid (coat) and a lipid envelope (membrane). They rely on the surface protein haemagglutinin (HA) to bind to host cell receptors to gain entry, where they hijack cellular functions and essentially turn the cell into a virus producing factory, with the synthesis of viral genome and proteins allowing virus particles to assemble and exit the cell with the assistance of viral protein neuraminidase (NA). Although this process differs for other types of virus, it is overall representative of what viruses in general accomplish when infecting cells.

Include in your answer specific definitions of what it means to be alive (recall that the Freeman text describes 5 fundamental characteristics of life - what are these five characteristics?) and address whether or not these apply to viruses.
