Which feature allows eukaryotic cells to perform more specialized functions than prokaryotic cells?

Presence of membrane-bound organelles

A virus infects a host cell and uses the cell's machinery to replicate. What does this indicate about the nature of viruses?

Viruses are dependent on host cells for reproduction.

Viruses can reproduce independently.

Viruses have their own organelles.

A student is given a diagram of a virus and a bacterial cell. Which feature would help the student identify the virus?

Presence of a protein coat (capsid)

A patient contracts a viral infection after traveling to a new country. Using your knowledge of how viruses spread, which public health measure would be most effective in preventing further transmission?

Prescribing antibiotics to everyone

A researcher is comparing the replication of viruses and bacteria. Which evidence would best support the claim that viruses are not living organisms?

Viruses require a host cell to reproduce.

Viruses contain genetic material.

A scientist claims that the endosymbiotic theory explains the origin of mitochondria in eukaryotic cells. Which evidence would best support this claim?

Mitochondria have their own circular DNA similar to prokaryotes.

Mitochondria are found in all prokaryotic cells.

Mitochondria lack any genetic material.

Mitochondria are not involved in energy production.

A viral outbreak occurs in a community. What strategic plan could public health officials use to limit the spread of the virus?

Promote vaccination and hygiene practices.

Encourage sharing of personal items.

Increase the use of antibiotics.

A student is asked to compare the complexity of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Which approach would best demonstrate strategic thinking?

Analyzing how the presence of organelles affects cellular functions and specialization.

Listing the organelles in each cell type.

Counting the number of cells in each organism.

Measuring the size of each cell.

A new antiviral drug is developed. What evidence would best demonstrate its effectiveness in stopping the spread of a viral disease?

The drug prevents viruses from entering host cells.

The drug kills bacteria in the body.

The drug increases the number of white blood cells.

The drug causes fever in patients.

A group of scientists debates whether viruses should be classified as living or non-living. Which argument best uses scientific reasoning to support the idea that viruses are non-living?

Viruses can reproduce only inside host cells and lack independent metabolism.

Viruses contain genetic material.

Models of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and an animal cell are shown. What is the difference in function of the glycoprotein structures of an HIV virion and the cilia of an animal cell?

The glycoprotein structures are used for attachment, and the cilia are used to move fluids surrounding the cell.

The glycoprotein structures are used to obtain nutrition, and the cilia are used to secrete proteins.

The glycoprotein structures are used to provide physical support for the viral envelope, and the cilia strengthen the cell membrane.

The glycoprotein structures are used for defense, and the cilia are used for locomotion.

Why do viruses have projections on the outside?

To send signals to other viruses.

During cellular respiration,

The complete breakdown of glucose yields ATP molecules.

Carbon dioxide is required to produce ATP
