Question
which 4 things are viruses not able to do? select all correct options. grow + develop, mutate + evolve, respond to environment, obtain + use energy, reproduce on their own
Viruses are acellular entities. They cannot grow and develop on their own as they lack the cellular machinery for metabolism - related growth processes. They also cannot obtain and use energy independently; they rely on host - cell metabolism. Viruses cannot reproduce on their own; they need a host cell's replication machinery to make copies of themselves. While they can mutate and evolve over time, they do not respond to the environment in the same way as living cells do in terms of metabolism - based responses.
