A virus
A tissue
An organ
A mineral crystal
5.
Why do antibiotics not normally cure viral infections?
Antibiotics target bacterial structures or processes that viruses do not have
Viruses are too large for antibiotics to reach

All antibiotics contain viruses
6.
Which statement best expresses the lesson objective about Viruses?
Describe what a virus is and how it replicates
The terms capsid and disease are always interchangeable
Evidence is unnecessary when studying Viruses
Every model is an exact copy of reality

the living cell a virus enters in order to reproduce
a living thing too small to be seen without a microscope
8.
Which practical work belongs to Viruses?
Use reproductive evidence and observable features to compare organisms
Follow paired-choice questions accurately and check identification against observable features
Apply the seven characteristics to living, non-living and once-living examples
Use evidence to discuss why viruses sit at the boundary between living and non-living
9.
Which action most directly reduces the spread of many respiratory viruses?
Good hand hygiene and limiting transmission of droplets
Sharing drinking containers
Stopping all ventilation
Taking antibiotics without medical need
10.
Which feature distinguishes a virus from a bacterium?
A virus can reproduce only inside a living host cell
