A patient is infected with an organism that enters the cell and uses the cell's energy parts to grow and

multiply. What type of organism is causing this patient's infection?
A. Protozoa
B. Bacteria
C. Fungi
D. Virus

Is it B??

Don't agree. Check with your text or Google each term.

To determine the type of organism causing the patient's infection, we need to understand the characteristics of each option and match them with the given information.

A. Protozoa: These are single-celled eukaryotic organisms. They can invade host cells but generally do not rely on the host cell's energy parts to grow and multiply. So, it is unlikely to be the correct answer.

B. Bacteria: Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotic organisms. Some bacteria can enter host cells, but they usually do not depend on the host cell's energy parts to grow and multiply. Therefore, bacteria are not the correct answer in this case.

C. Fungi: Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that can be either single-celled (yeast) or multicellular (molds and mushrooms). Although some fungi can enter host cells, they don't typically rely on the host cell's energy parts for growth and multiplication. Therefore, fungi are unlikely to be causing the infection.

D. Virus: Viruses are infectious agents that cannot survive or reproduce on their own. They need to infect host cells and use the host cell's machinery, including energy parts, to replicate and multiply. Therefore, based on the information provided, the most likely answer is D. Virus.

So, in this case, the correct answer would be D. Virus.
