Question 8: An individual with a viral infection would need which type of medication?

The answer is the fourth one: antiviral.

Explanation:

  • Antibiotic: Incorrect. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections, not viral infections.
  • Antifungal: Incorrect. Antifungal medications are used to treat fungal infections.
  • Antibacterial: Incorrect. This is another term for antibiotics, which are used against bacteria.
  • Antiviral: Correct. Antiviral medications are specifically designed to treat viral infections by inhibiting the development of the virus.

Question 9: Viruses are able to replicate on their own.

The answer is False.

Explanation:

  • True: Incorrect. Viruses cannot replicate on their own. They require a host cell to reproduce, as they lack the necessary cellular machinery for independent replication.
  • False: Correct. Viruses must infect a host cell and use the host's cellular machinery to replicate and produce new virus particles.

In summary, for a viral infection, antiviral medication is needed, and viruses cannot replicate independently without a host cell.
