Which student's argument is MOST correct using evidence from the diagrams? O A. Diagram 1 represents a cell and Diagram 2 represents a virus because viruses have a protein capsid while cells have a lipid membrane. O B. Diagram 1 represents a virus and Diagram 2 represents a cell because viruses do not have nucleic acids but cells do. O C. Diagram 1 represents a cell and Diagram 2 represents a virus because a virus has nucleic acids and cells do not. O D. Diagram 1 represents a virus and Diagram 2 represents a cell because cells have ribosomes to make their own proteins and viruses do not.arrow_forwardHow might a bacteriophage be used to treat a bacterial infection? – this question relates to question # 2. Address specificity. Why can viruses only infect specific cells? Why would the host cell be safe from infection?arrow_forward
