Question

1. 10. multi-celled but can only reproduce inside a plant or animal?

a. virus
b. bacteria
c. fungi
d. parasite

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• a. Virus: Viruses are acellular (not multi - celled), so this is incorrect.
• b. Bacteria: Bacteria are single - celled and can reproduce independently (not only inside plants/animals), so this is incorrect.
• c. Fungi: While some fungi are parasites, the description "multi - celled but can only reproduce inside a plant or animal" is more specific to parasites. Fungi can have various reproduction modes and not all are restricted to reproducing only inside a host in the way described.
• d. Parasite: Parasites can be multi - celled (like some worms) and they rely on a host (plant or animal) to reproduce. This fits the description.

Answer:

d. Parasite
