Question

Question 26 You're looking at a sample from your patient under the microscope. Does your patient have a virus? a No, my patient does not have a virus, this is a bacterial cell. b No, my patient does not have a virus, this is a fungal cell. c Yes, my patient has a virus, since this is not a cell. d Yes, my patient has a virus, as this a typical viral structure.

Answer 1

The correct option is: c Yes, my patient has a virus, since this is not a cell.

Viruses are not classified as cells; they lack the cellular structure and machinery associated with living organisms, such as a cell membrane and organelles. If you are observing something under the microscope that does not have these characteristics, it is likely a viral structure.
