Explanation:

For Question 4, bacteria are a major component of the normal human microbiome, living in various parts of the body like the gut, skin, etc. Viruses are often pathogenic and not considered normal microbiome members in the same sense. Fungi can be present in small amounts but are not as predominant as bacteria. Parasites are generally harmful and not part of the normal microbiome. Prions are mis - folded proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases and not part of the microbiome.
For Question 5, gram - staining is a technique used to classify bacteria based on their cell - wall structure. Viruses do not have cell walls and cannot be gram - stained. Fungi and parasites also do not use gram - staining for classification.

Answer:

Question 4: 2) Bacteria
Question 5: 2) Bacteria
