Naked DNA, which means that the DNA isn't surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

They 'take over' human cells and use their organelle to carry out important functions, where as bacteria do it with all their own organelle. Antibiotics don't work against them.

Why is there is debate about the viruses being alive or dead?

The debate is not about whether viruses are alive or dead. Rather, there is debate about whether a virus should be considered a living thing. Viruses are not like living cells, because they do not have metabolic processes, and they cannot reproduce themselves. Instead, they invade a host cell, and the virus's genes cause the host cell to produce new viruses. However, the question of whether this "counts" as being alive is a semantic one. Viruses have some properties of living things, and they lack other properties, so the question of whether they are "alive" comes down to one's definition of the word "life."
