Multiple Choice

Viruses are not living, because they

1

are not cellular.

2

have no DNA.

3

do not reproduce.

4

lack a nucleus.

Multiple Choice

Cell theory states:

all living things are composed of one or more cells;

a cell is the smallest unit that still retains the properties of life;

and new cells only come from cells that already exist.

Based on cell theory, which of these answer choices would describe one reason a virus is considered nonliving?

1

A virus is too small to be considered a cell.

2

A virus does not contain genetic material.

3

A virus does not have a nucleus.

4

A virus cannot reproduce itself without a host

11

Multiple Choice

Viruses CANNOT

1

be crystallized.

2

live in bacteria.

3

cause disease in plants.

4

reproduce on their own.
