Question

both fungi and bacteria can cause tissues in the human reproductive system to become inflamed, yet these types of infectious agents are significantly different. which of the following is most likely a difference between these two agents? a. a fungus is not a living organism, but a bacterium is a living organism. b. a fungus is unicellular, but a bacterium is multicellular. c. a funge cell has a nucleus, but a bacterial cell does not have a nucleus. d. a fungal cell is not bound by a cell membrane, but a bacterial cell is bound by a cell membrane.

Explanation:

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms, which means their cells have a nucleus. Bacteria are prokaryotic, and their cells lack a nucleus. Both fungi and bacteria are living (so A is wrong), some fungi are unicellular (e.g., yeast) and bacteria are unicellular (so B is wrong), both fungal and bacterial cells have cell membranes (so D is wrong).

Answer:

C. A fungus cell has a nucleus, but a bacterial cell does not have a nucleus.
