Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Proteins

6. Virus

Explanation:

Prions are the infectious particle composed of harmless proteins found in the brain of the animals like humans, cows which are responsible for the degeneration of the nervous tissues of the brain.

den301095 [7]

Pneumonia is the inflammation of the lungs, usually caused by an infection. It affects the respiratory system (lungs and throat) and causes minor injuries, which are the gateway to the pneumococcus.
