Question

directions: choose the correct answer for each row. viruses have several key similarities and differences from bacterial cells. using the table below, read the description and click whether the description applies to viruses, bacterial cells, or both. cannot reproduce without a host cell contains organelles is considered a living thing does not have a cell wall contains genetic material viruses bacterial cells both viruses and bacterial cells

Explanation:

Viruses cannot reproduce without a host cell. Viruses do not have organelles. Viruses are not considered living things in the traditional sense. Viruses contain genetic material (either DNA or RNA). Bacterial cells can reproduce independently, have organelles (such as ribosomes), are living things, and some have cell - walls while others don't, and they contain genetic material (DNA).

Answer:

1. cannot reproduce without a host cell: viruses
2. contains organelles: bacterial cells
3. is considered a living thing: bacterial cells
4. does not have a cell wall: viruses
5. contains genetic material: both viruses and bacterial cells
