Explanation:

For the first question about the difference between viral and bacterial infections, viral diseases can be treated for symptoms but not cured in the same way as bacterial infections which can often be cured with antibiotics. For the second question about the diagram, the correct order from smallest to largest is cells - tissues - organs - organ systems, and we need to find the incorrect description among the options.
