Aleksandr [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Because they can only reproduce in a living cell

Explanation:

Virus is an organism that is incapable of replicating on its own without a living host. A virus infects a living host and makes use of Its replicational ability to produce new virions. A virus consists of a genetic material surrounded by a Protein called CAPSID. It does not possess the characteristics of other living organisms.

This means that it does not carry out any of the features a living cell undergoes e.g reproduction, respiration etc. Due to this reason, it is not classified as a living thing. They don't possess organnelles that carry out this peculiar functions.

A virus is considered a peculiar microorganism because it can only live and reproduce in a living host cell.

Based on the information in the graph, which blood type is most likely to be in shortest supply during an emergency?
Maksim231197 [3]
While there is no graph provided and I cannot find the graph online, I will base my answer through theory. 

In theory, the most common blood type is O+, followed by A+, then B+, then AB+. Rh negative blood is deemed to be rare. While the most common blood type is O+, the same blood type is also called the "universal donor" as a type O+ blood has no antigens attached in red blood cells therefore the probability of adverse reactions (i.e. hemolytic reactions) when transfused to other blood types are close to nil. In an emergency situation, wherein there is not enough time to do proper crossmatching, blood type O+ can be used therefore supplies of blood type O+ are easily depleted.

By the size and shape of the organisms.

Explanation:

C. albicans isn't a bacteria, it's actually a fungi. Therefore, there will exist significant differences between the bacteria normally found in the vagina, and the fungi that can be causing an infection. Fungus are, usually, bigger than bacteria. Also bacteria have special shapes, like bacillus and spirils, which fungus don't.
