Topics: Viruses (chapter 6) are non-living entities and do not follow conventional means of growth (chapter 7). As such, create 5 two-part questions. Part of the question must showcase the unique aspect needed for growth, and the second part should highlight the difference for a virus. This discussion uses critical thought of chapter contents. Additional items can be used to help highlight the differences, such as a quick video link, a graphic, a photo, or creating your own Venn Diagram.
The peer response is to delve deeper into the differences between something living (and what it needs), versus a non-living microbe. Content should primarily be your own, but remember to always cite borrowed content to avoid plagiarism.
