Question

true or false: viruses do not have a plasma membrane, internal organelles, metabolic processes, and do not divide. true false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Viruses are acellular entities. They lack a plasma membrane (unlike cells). They have no internal organelles (such as mitochondria, ribosomes in a typical cell context). They do not carry out their own metabolic processes independently (they rely on host cell machinery). Also, they do not divide by processes like binary fission (typical for prokaryotes) or mitosis/meiosis (for eukaryotes). Instead, they replicate by hijacking host cell mechanisms.

Answer:

True
