1. Andrew, a teenager observed one morning, as he looked at the mirror, that already pricked it a few
days ago. What principle of cell theory is related to this?his face has a new pimple. He wondered
how he got another pimple when he already pricked it a few days ago. What principle of the cell
theory is related to this?

Pimple is a kind of humor that results from being stuck in the pores of the skin by excess sebum
and dead skin cells. When acne happens, it occurs when oil, dead skin, or bacteria obstruct the pores
of your skin. The principle of cell theory that applies to this is the omniscellula e cellulathat the third
postulate of the cell theory that states that all cells originate from pre-existing cells, so we know in
this case that it can push bacteria and push bacteria when we pop or squeeze a pimple That can
spread deeper into the skin and lead to more acne because it irritates our skin.

2. A virus can easily manipulate various cellular activities once it has already invaded the host cell.
Does this mean that a virus is a living organism because it can enter a cell, the fundamental unit of
life?

The virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that only replicates within an organism's
living cells. Thus, viruses are not living organisms, they are complex molecular assemblies, and the
viruses can only reproduce inside a living host cell when it comes to the host cell, and the infected
cell creates more viral and genetic material rather than its normal products. Viruses are also
obligatory intracellular parasites, but they are not known to be living organisms.
