Viruses

Question 3 • Biology - SC3209 IC

Which best describes viruses?

Answer
A
Viruses are nonliving infectious agents.
B
Viruses can replicate without a host cell.
C
Viruses can be killed by strong antibiotics.
D
Viruses are similar to bacterial cells.

Explanation

Viruses are infectious agents, but they are generally considered nonliving because they cannot carry out life processes or reproduce on their own. They must use a host cell to make more viruses, so choice B is false. Antibiotics target bacteria, not viruses, and viruses are not bacterial cells.
