Question

Both viruses and living cells can cause intestinal diseases. Giardia Lambía is a single called organism that releases toxins that cause diarrhea and vomiting. A norovirus is a common cause of viral gastroenteritis, which has similar symptoms. Both diseases can be spread by contact and contaminated water. Which statement describes a key difference between Giardia Lambía and the norovirus that causes viral gastroenteritis?
A.) Only the virus carries new genetic information into body cells
B.) Only the virus replicates large quantities of genetic information
C.) Only the virus can live outside a host
D.) Only the virus is large enough to be filtered out of water.

Answer 1

I believe it'd be A because the virus infects cells whereas the Giardia Lambia only releases toxins.
