O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/M/J/18

Explanation
Identifying the correct comparison table for bacteria, fungi, and viruses
Steps:
- Bacteria are prokaryotes: no true nucleus, have peptidoglycan cell wall, have plasma membrane.
- Fungi are eukaryotes: have nucleus, have chitin cell wall, have plasma membrane.
- Viruses are acellular: no nucleus, no cell wall, no plasma membrane.
- Evaluate tables for accurate ✓/x matches to these traits.
Why D is correct:
- Matches biology: bacteria lack nucleus (x) but have cell wall (✓); fungi have both (✓); viruses lack both (x), per eukaryotic/prokaryotic/acellular definitions.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Incorrectly marks viruses with nucleus (✓) and vague "key" entries.
- B: Misplaces features like "no cell membrane" and errors in fungi/viruses walls.
- C: Garbled with redundant "x x x" and incomplete fungi/viruses data.
Final answer: D
