Back 19

by bringing your fingers together

Front 20

Why are viruses considered living and nonliving?

Back 20

because they undergo multiplication and mutation, but they cannot grow

Front 32

How are viruses not like bacteria?

Back 32

viruses reproduce through the lytic cycle-inside the cell (host)

Front 33

Where do we find protists?

Back 33
