Bacteria, Virus, and Fungi Quiz

What is the main difference between bacteria and viruses?

• Bacteria and viruses are both unicellular organisms

• Bacteria can reproduce on their own, while viruses require a host cell to reproduce.

• Bacteria and viruses both cause the same types of infections

• Bacteria and viruses are both harmless to humans

How do fungi obtain their nutrients?

• Photosynthesis

• Breathing in oxygen

• Ingestion of food

• Absorption from their surroundings

Name one disease caused by bacteria.

• Asthma

• Tuberculosis

• Hypertension

What is the structure of a virus?

• A multicellular organism with a cell wall

• A plant-like structure with chlorophyll

• Genetic material surrounded by a protein coat

• A single-celled organism with a nucleus

What are the different types of fungi?
