-
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
-
Golgi apparatus and ribosomes
-
Mitochondria and chlorplasts
-
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Correct Answer
A. Mitochondria and chlorplastsExplanation
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are organelles that help provide cells with energy and release energy. Mitochondria are responsible for producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the main energy currency of the cell. They carry out cellular respiration, a process that converts glucose and oxygen into ATP. Chloroplasts, on the other hand, are found in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis. They convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen, which can be used as a source of energy by the cell. Therefore, both mitochondria and chloroplasts play crucial roles in energy production and release within the cell.Rate this question:

Type of asexual reproduction used by bacteria:
-
Fusion
-
Binary fission
-
Sexual reproduction
-
Conjugation
Correct Answer
A. Binary fissionExplanation
Binary fission is the correct answer because it is the most common type of asexual reproduction used by bacteria. In binary fission, a single bacterial cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process allows bacteria to reproduce rapidly and efficiently, leading to exponential growth of the population. Unlike fusion, which involves the merging of two gametes, binary fission does not involve the fusion of genetic material from two different cells. Similarly, sexual reproduction and conjugation both involve the exchange of genetic material between two different cells, which is not characteristic of bacterial reproduction through binary fission.Rate this question:

-
Germs that are found only in the barbershop
-
Single celled microorganisms
-
Germs that are found only on your hands
Correct Answer
A. Single celled microorganismsExplanation
Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms. They are small, simple organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Bacteria are found in various environments, including soil, water, and the human body. They can be beneficial, such as aiding in digestion, or harmful, causing infections and diseases. As single-celled organisms, bacteria reproduce by dividing into two identical cells through a process called binary fission.Rate this question:

-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Sub-MicroscopicExplanation
The correct answer is "Sub-Microscopic" because a virus is a sub-microscopic infectious agent that replicates inside the cells of living organisms. Unlike bacteria, which are single-celled microorganisms, viruses are much smaller and cannot survive or reproduce outside a host cell. Therefore, the term "sub-microscopic" accurately describes the size and nature of viruses.Rate this question:

Viruses are considered to be...
-
Non-living
-
Primitive precursors of bacteria
-
A link between life and non-life
-

Correct Answer
A. Non-livingExplanation
Viruses are considered to be non-living because they lack the essential characteristics of living organisms. They do not have cells, cannot reproduce on their own, and do not carry out metabolic processes. Viruses are essentially inert outside of a host cell and require a host to replicate. While they possess genetic material, they are dependent on the host's cellular machinery to carry out any functions. Therefore, viruses are classified as non-living entities.Rate this question:
