Question

question 2 of 10 which pathogen depends on living cells to reproduce? a. virus b. fungus c. bacterium d. protist

Explanation:

Viruses are non - living entities outside of a host cell. They lack the cellular machinery to carry out metabolic processes and reproduce on their own. They must infect living cells and use the host cell's resources and machinery to replicate their genetic material and produce new viral particles. Fungi, bacteria, and protists are living organisms that can reproduce independently through various cellular processes like mitosis, binary fission etc.

Answer:

A. Virus
