Answer:
The second statement is correct: "The "host range" for a virus is determined by the presence or absence of particular components on the surface of a host cell that are required for the virus to attach."
Explanation:
The virus attaching itself to the host cell is the first step for it to successfully infect the host. Viruses are smaller in size than bacteria, so the first statement is incorrect. The third statement is incorrect because viruses do not have the necessary machinery to carry out protein synthesis or to generate ATP, this precisely why they seek out a host to begin with. The fourth statement is false because the virus will either have DNA or RNA, but both at the same time.
Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
Answer:
Microorganisms can be found both in the external environment (ecosystem) and the internal environment (microflora) of higher organisms.
Explanation:
Microorganisms (microbes) are microscopic forms of life that include bacteria, protists, fungi and animal species, these organisms can se differentiated by using laboratory techniques such as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or by microscopes. These organisms are both beneficial and both beneficial and pathogenic for humans. For example, the microflora may be useful in digesting nutrients contained in the food. On the other hand, <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> is a pathogen microorganism that is found in the digestive system of mosquitoes and cause malaria in humans.
