Question

1. which of the following statements about viruses is true? *

they show all the characteristics of living organisms
they have an outer coat made of cellulose
they have membrane bound organelles in their cytoplasm
they can only reproduce inside other living cells
a specialized cell in the body.

Explanation:

• Viruses do not show all characteristics of living organisms (e.g., they cannot reproduce on their own without a host).
• Their outer coat is made of protein (capsid), not cellulose (which is found in plant cell walls).
• They have no membrane - bound organelles as they are non - cellular.
• Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites, meaning they can only reproduce inside other living cells.

Answer:

they can only reproduce inside other living cells
