,5) Certain f#parasites, f#such f#as f#intestinal f#tapeworms, f#cannot f#survive
f#outside f#of f#their f#host. f#Why f#are f # they f#still f#considered f#alive?


A) Survival f#outside f#of f#a f#host f#is f#not f#a f#requirement f#for f#life.
B) Parasites f#are f#still f#considered f#alive f#because f#they f#are f#studied f#by
f#biologists, f#and f#biology f#is f#the f # study f#of f#life.


C) As f#long f#as f#parasites f#are f#made f#of f#cells, f#they f#are f#considered f#to f#be
f#alive.


D) Because f#they f#cannot f#survive f#outside f#of f#the f#host, f#parasites f#are
f#actually f#not f#considered f#alive. f # Answer: f # A
