Hi Tortsen,
I didn't really know where to post this, but anyways... I was doing the vocabulary practice tests for the MCAT when I stumbled across this problem:
n. micro-organism which can only live inside other cells
(a) node
(b) blood pressure
(c) virus
(d) acid salt
The test said c, virus, which threw me. I thought that because viruses are non-living, they can't be classified as a micro-organism. I looked up the definition for organism, and it most definitely mentions that they are living things. So, what's up with this question? Can I expect to possibly see something like this on the real test?
Thanks,
Liftoff |

Hi Liftoff,
Many thanks for your question. Can you please tell me why you used to think that a virus doesn't live? I'm asking because I'm sure you simply didn't pay enough attention to the question at the time you were answering it. You probably knew that a virus does live and you simply were not aware of that at that very moment. Am I right? Regards,
Torsten

I would like to know the meaning of "TAKE" = Consider/think/suppose.

Hi,
'I take it' suggests 'I assume' meaning this is what I understand from what you are saying.
