Correct Answer
A. HostExplanation
A host is a living thing that provides a source of energy for a virus or organism. In the context of this question, a host refers to a living organism that serves as a habitat or carrier for a virus. The virus relies on the host for its survival and reproduction. The host may or may not be harmed by the presence of the virus, but it is essential for the virus to complete its life cycle.Rate this question:

Th only way that virus are like cells is that they__________________.
Correct Answer
multiplyExplanation
Viruses are like cells in that they have the ability to multiply. While cells can divide and reproduce to create new cells, viruses can replicate themselves by hijacking the machinery of host cells. They insert their genetic material into the host cell and use the host's resources to produce more virus particles. This process of multiplication allows viruses to spread and infect other cells or organisms. Therefore, the ability to multiply is a shared characteristic between viruses and cells.Rate this question:
