Option 1 states that bacteria contain cytoplasm while viruses do not. This statement is correct.
Cytoplasm is a gel-like substance found within the cells of living organisms. It contains various cellular components such as organelles, enzymes, and other molecules necessary for cell function. Bacteria are considered prokaryotic organisms, meaning they lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. However, bacteria do have a cytoplasm where essential cellular processes take place. On the other hand, viruses are acellular particles that lack cellular organelles and do not have a true cytoplasm.
Option 2 claims that bacteria contain mitochondria but viruses do not. This statement is incorrect. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles responsible for energy production in eukaryotic cells. Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms and do not possess mitochondria. Similarly, viruses lack cellular organelles, including mitochondria.
Option 3 suggests that viruses contain mitochondria while bacteria do not. This statement is incorrect, as mentioned above.
Option 4 states that viruses have a cell membrane while bacteria do not. This statement is incorrect. Both bacteria and viruses have a cell envelope, although they have different compositions. Bacteria typically have a cell
