    • Organism

    • Living thing

    • Animal

    Correct Answer
    A. Host
    Explanation
    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.

    • Harmful

    Correct Answer
    A. Bacteriphage
    Explanation
    A bacteriophage is a virus that specifically infects bacteria. It is not harmful to other types of cells, as it is designed to target and replicate within bacterial cells. The term "parasite" can also be used to describe a bacteriophage, as it relies on the host bacterium for its survival and reproduction. Therefore, the correct answer in this case is "Bacteriophage".

    Correct Answer
    A. Parasite
    Explanation
    A parasite is an organism that lives inside another organism and causes harm to it. It relies on the host organism for survival and derives nutrients from it, often causing damage or disease in the process. This relationship is considered parasitic because the parasite benefits at the expense of the host. Examples of parasites include ticks, fleas, and certain types of worms.

    Th only way that virus are like cells is that they__________________.

    Correct Answer
    multiply
    Explanation
    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.
