A student claims that viruses are alive because they have genetic material and can reproduce. Is this student’s claim correct?(1 point)
Responses

No, viruses are not alive because they rely on a host organism to be able to reproduce.
No, viruses are not alive because they rely on a host organism to be able to reproduce.

Yes, viruses are alive because they have genetic material.
Yes, viruses are alive because they have genetic material.

No, viruses are not alive because they do not have genetic material nor can they reproduce.
No, viruses are not alive because they do not have genetic material nor can they reproduce.

Yes, viruses are alive because they can reproduce.

The correct response is:

No, viruses are not alive because they rely on a host organism to be able to reproduce.

Viruses cannot reproduce on their own; they need to infect a host cell and hijack the host's cellular machinery to replicate their genetic material and produce new virus particles. Therefore, they are generally considered non-living entities.

is that right

Yes, that is correct. Viruses are often classified as non-living because they cannot carry out metabolic processes or reproduce independently. They require a host cell to replicate and produce new virus particles, which is a key reason for considering them not truly alive. The answer stating that "viruses are not alive because they rely on a host organism to be able to reproduce" accurately reflects the scientific consensus on this topic.

next question

Of the five characteristics of living things, which one is required for the species to survive but does not have to apply to an individual?(1 point)
Responses

reproduction
reproduction

use of energy to function
use of energy to function

response to the environment
response to the environment

growth and change over a life cycle

The correct response is:

reproduction

Reproduction is necessary for the survival of a species, as it allows for the continuation of the species over time. However, it is not required for the survival of an individual organism, which may live its life without reproducing.

is that correct
uhh

Yes, that response is correct.

Reproduction is indeed one of the five characteristics of living things that is necessary for the survival of a species but does not need to apply to every individual. While individual organisms may live and thrive without reproducing (for example, in the case of some sterile individuals or older organisms), the species as a whole must reproduce to ensure its continuation over generations.

Which statement about plasma membranes is correct?(1 point)
Responses

Both plant cells and animal cells have flexible plasma membranes.
Both plant cells and animal cells have flexible plasma membranes.

Plant cells have cell walls instead of plasma membranes.
Plant cells have cell walls instead of plasma membranes.

Animal cells have cell membranes instead of plasma membranes.
Animal cells have cell membranes instead of plasma membranes.

Plant cells have rigid plasma membranes.

The correct response is:

Both plant cells and animal cells have flexible plasma membranes.

Both plant and animal cells have plasma membranes (also referred to as cell membranes) that are flexible and important for regulating what enters and exits the cell. Additionally, plant cells have rigid cell walls outside the plasma membrane, but that does not mean they don't have a plasma membrane.
