Column B a.parasite b.viruses c.fungi d.bacteria

Answer 1

Here are the matches between the descriptions in Column A and the infectious agents in Column B:

1. tiny, single-celled organisms with no nucleus inside the digestive track: **d. bacteria**
2. no cells, takes over a host cell from which it replicates and spreads into neighboring host cells: **b. viruses**
3. multicellular organisms made up of cells that have cell walls and well-defined nuclei: **c. fungi**
4. an organism that lives in or on another organism and takes nutrients at the expense of the host: **a. parasite**

So the matched pairs are:
1 - d, 2 - b, 3 - c, 4 - a.
