The Cell theory is not applicable to:
Correct answer: C. Virus
- A. Fungi
- B. Algae
- C. Virus
- D. Microbes
Explanation
Here are some of the reasons why the cell theory is not applicable to viruses:Viruses do not have a cell membrane. A cell membrane is a structure that surrounds all cells and provides protection and support. Viruses do not have a cell membrane, and they are instead surrounded by a protein coat.Viruses do not have their own metabolism. Metabolism is the process by which cells convert energy and nutrients into molecules that the cell can use. Viruses do not have their own metabolism, and they rely on the host cell to provide them with the energy and nutrients they need to survive.Viruses do not reproduce on their own. Cells can reproduce by dividing in half. Viruses cannot reproduce on their own, and they need to infect a host cell in order to reproduce.
