3. The word "nature" that is underlined in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to which of the following: Q1/ Read the following paragraphs then answer the questions below: Self-sufficiency Shapes Characteristics The term 'virus is derived from the Latin word for poison, or slime. It was originally applied to the noxious stench emanating from swamps that was thought to cause a variety of diseases in the centuries before microbes were discovered and specifically linked to illness. But it was not until almost the end of the nineteenth century that a true virus was proven to be the cause of a disease. Speed 4. The author implies that bacteria were investigated earlier than viruses because bacteria are harder to eradicate bacteria are easier to detect viruses are extremely poisonous viruses are found only in hot climates The nature of viruses made them impossible to detect for many years even after bacteria had been discovered and studied. Not only are viruses too small to be seen with a light microscope, they also cannot be detected through their biological activity, except as it occurs in conjunction with other organisms. In fact, viruses show no traces of biological activity by themselves. Unlike bacteria, they are not living agents in the strictest sense Viruses are very simple pieces of organic material composed only of nucleic acid, either DNA(the acid that is found in human atom cell) or RNA(Ribonucleic acid), enclosed in a coat of protein made up of simple structural units.(Some viruses also contain carbohydrates and lipids.) They are parasites, requiring human, animal, or plant cells to live. The virus replicates by attaching to a cell and injecting its nucleic acid. once inside the cell, the DNA or RNA that contains the virus' genetic information takes over the cell's biological machinery, and the cell begins to manufacture viral proteins rather than its own. 5. All of the following may be components of a virus EXCEPT carbohydrates RNA plant cells a coat of protein
