1.	Which among the following are incorrect about Viruses?(a) Viruses are acellular(b) Viruses are smaller than bacterium(c) Viruses can perform all of their metabolic activities except reproduction when outside a living host(d) Viruses are non-living organismsI have been asked this question in class test.This intriguing question comes from Biological Classification in section Biological Classification of Biology – Class 11
Answer» The correct option is (c) Viruses can perform all of their metabolic ACTIVITIES except REPRODUCTION when outside a living host Explanation: Viruses can’t perform any of the metabolic activities when outside a living host. So, they are non-living ORGANISMS. Viruses don’t even consist of a CELL and so acellular. They are in fact smaller than that of a bacterium and can even infect them.
