Which of the following would be the correct label for each of the following infectious agents based on their characteristics?

Agent A: Bacteria – Agent B: Fungi – Agent C: Virus

Agent A: Bacteria – Agent B: Virus – Agent C: Fungi

Agent A: Fungi – Agent B: Virus – Agent C: Bacteria

Agent A: Virus – Agent B: Bacteria – Agent C: Fungi

Answer explanation

Agent A is correctly labeled as Bacteria due to its prokaryotic structure. Agent B is Fungi, which are eukaryotic organisms, and Agent C is a Virus, which is acellular and requires a host to replicate. Thus, the correct labeling is Agent A: Bacteria – Agent B: Fungi – Agent C: Virus.

A plant cell takes in more water when it becomes too dry.

A virus infects a human cell and causes yellow fever.

Answer explanation

A plant cell taking in more water when it becomes too dry is a clear example of homeostasis, as it regulates its internal environment to maintain balance despite external conditions.
