Question
Chapter 13, Problem 1SA
Summary Introduction
To answer:
The comparison and contrast between the cell organelles of virus and bacteria.
Introduction:
The viruses are obligate organisms that show signs of life only inside a host. Outside the host, they either die or do not show any sign of life. They invade the host cell to carry out their function like replication. Unlike viruses, the bacteria are able to manage their own
