Question

what is one way viruses can spread from one host to another? by walking on their own through bodily fluids like saliva by growing on plants through sunlight exposure

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Viruses are non - living entities that need a host to replicate. They cannot move on their own (they lack cellular machinery for locomotion), do not grow on plants (plants can be hosts but viruses don't 'grow' on them in the sense of having a growth mechanism like plants themselves), and are not spread through sunlight exposure. However, many viruses (e.g., viruses causing common cold, AIDS - HIV virus) can be spread through bodily fluids. For example, the cold virus can be spread through respiratory droplets (a type of bodily fluid) when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and HIV can be spread through blood, semen etc.

Answer:

Through bodily fluids like saliva
