Question

The Ebola virus can often have symptoms similar to bacterial pneumonia, an infection of the lungs. These symptoms include chest pains, shortness of breath, and fever. Which statement best summarizes the differences between these two diseases? (SC.6.L.14.6)a.Viruses can replicate because they are living organisms, while bacteria cannot. b.Viruses are not living organisms, but bacteria are living. c.Viruses can be beneficial to live organisms but bacteria are often infectious. d.Viruses are living organisms, while bacteria are not.

Answer 1

Viruses are not living organisms and rely on host cells for replication, while bacteria are living and can replicate independently.

Step-by-step explanation:

Viruses are not living organisms, but bacteria are living. While viruses require a host cell to survive and reproduce, bacteria are capable of independent replication. Viruses are composed of DNA or RNA in a protein coat and infect organisms such as bacteria, plants, and animals. On the other hand, bacteria are single-celled organisms that can carry out metabolic processes and reproduce on their own.

Answer 2

I think its, option b) Viruses are not living organisms, but bacteria are living.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other options don't fit "summarize the differences b/w bacteria and virus", or simply don't make sense...

Bacteria can replicate as well, not only virus, so that cannot be a difference

The virus is often the one being more dangerous, there is something called "good bacteria"

A virus isn't living, (for the sake of this answer), and we all know for sure that bacteria is living

So, that's how option b is correct

I hope this helped you!!
