- Q2Which of these describes a difference between viruses and cells?cells contain protein, and viruses only contain carbohydratesviruses have flagella, and cells only have ciliaviruses have membranes made of proteins, and cells have membranes made of nucleic acidsCells reproduce independently, and viruses require a host to reproduce30s
- Q3The human body is composed of organ systems. Which list represents a system organized from least to most complex?Muscle cell -> muscle tissue -> biceps muscle -> muscular systemlung tissue -> trachea -> nostrils ->circulatory systemHeart -> cardiac muscle -> muscle tissue -> muscle cellintegumentary system -> skin cell -> hair -> sweat glands30s
- Q4Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1. A company that wants to develop antiviral drugs would ask a research immunologist to study -how closely related the virus is to cold virusesthe metabolism of the virusmeiosis in the virusthe mechanism used by the virus to infect cells30s

- Q11Oncogenes are mutated forms of genes. Oncogenes can transform a cell into a tumor cell. Some tumor cells are benign, while others are malignant. How does the presence of an oncogene lead to the formation of a tumor?ATP production is inhibitedsomatic cell growth is inhibitedcell division is unregulatedantibody activity is unregulated30s
