Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
Ok I think its small polar molecules but I could be wrong.
That would be called evolution or in more scientific terms: T<span>he change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. :p
Hope this helps!

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
A. Gram-negative bacilli cannot cause harm to the cell; only Gram-positive bacilli can harm the cell.
B. Gram-negative bacilli release endotoxins that cause cell injury and increased capillary permeability.
C. Gram-negative bacilli excrete elaborate exotoxins that interfere with cellular production of ATP.
D. Gram-negative bacilli enter the cell and disrupt its ability to replicate.
Answer:
B. Gram-negative bacilli release endotoxins that cause cell injury and increased capillary permeability.
Explanation:
Gram-negative bacteria are pathogenic in nature due to the composition of their cell wall. Their cell wall contains an additional layer of a molecule called lipopolysaccharides or LPS.
The LPS layer is toxic in nature and is known as endotoxin and is involved in the pathogenicity of the bacteria as the toxin causes the injury to the Endothelial cell membrane of the host cell.
When the bacteria cell is lysed and the LPS circulates in the blood, then LPS binds the receptors and acts on CD14. This attracts the neutrophils at the site and can cause vascular injury due to increased capillary permeability.
Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
