Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Tuberculosis is transmitted by droplet nuclei. Legionellosis is transmitted by airborne aerosols; histoplasmosis, by airborne dust; and staphylococcus, by direct contact.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Viruses must invade a living organism to replicate. This is the reason that they are described as nonliving. They do have a wall-like structure that is made of protein. They do not create endo-spores and are able to live outside a host; however, they cannot replicate outside of a host.
