difference between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites are: Bacteria are single celled organisms that can rapidly multiple themselves every 10 minutes up to 10 times each bacterial cell‚ but they do not live or reproduce in a human cell. When threatened they will make a copy of their DNA to enable them to come back to life in the right conditions. They are able to survive in most extreme living conditions including with and without oxygen‚ there are various types of bacteria such as Cocci/Coccus

Task 1 1.1 Identity the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites MICRO-ORGANISMS BACTERIA – Bacteria are forms of spores that can multiply‚ some bacteria’s are difficult to destroy and are able to survive for long periods. Bacteria cells come in a variety of shapes and sizes‚ however all bacteria’s have the same basic structure‚ below is a image of bacteria cell with labels identifying what a bacteria cell consists of: VIRUSES – viruses are smaller than bacteria and

Causes and spread of infection Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi‚ parasites? -Viruses aren’t living. They’re only made of complex proteins and nucleic acids. Bacteria‚ Fungi and Parasites are living organisms. - Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms. Fungi and Parasites are multicellular. - Fungi have cell walls made of chitin and they aren’t animals. Parasites and bacteria are animals. Bacteria come in 3 main shapes; spherical which are known as cocci‚ rod shaped

They are capable of multiplying by themselves‚ as they have the power to divide. Bacteria exist everywhere‚ inside and on our bodies. Most of them are completely harmless and some of them are very useful. But some bacteria can cause diseases‚ either because they

1.1 Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites Bacteria are a single celled organism that multiplies by themselves. The majority of bacteria’s are harmless and beneficial to the human body but some can cause infectious diseases. A bacterium usually affects one part of the body and doesn’t spread across or through the body. Bacterial infections are normally treated with a cause of antibiotics Viruses are made up of genes and proteins that spread throughout the body

Question 1: What questions (or types of questions) would you ask the student? The student should be asked the what‚ who‚ when‚ where‚ and why (or how) of the problem as denoted below: What is the problem? (e.g.‚ clinical description of the illness‚ whether a physician was consulted‚ whether any tests were performed or any treatments were provided) Who was affected and their characteristics? (e.g.‚ age‚ sex‚ occupation)‚ and the nature of their illnesses (e.g.‚ symptoms‚ whether any persons were

Causes and Spread of Infection This unit is to enable the learner to understand the causes of infection and common illnesses that may result as a consequence. To understand the difference between both infection and colonisation and pathogenic and non pathogenic organisms‚ the areas of infection and the types caused by different organisms. In addition‚ the learner will understand the methods of transmission‚ the conditions needed for organisms to grow‚ the ways infection enter the body and key

Causes and Spread of Infection 1.1 Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria‚ fungi and parasites are all considered as ‘living’ things‚. Bacteria are single celled microorganisms that can only been seen through a microscope‚ they collect their nutrition from their surrounding and unlike viruses‚ they do not need a living host to reproduce. Viruses are difficult to destroy because they are enclosed in a protein coating. Viruses are disease-producing

Bacteria multiplies by its self to progress and spread. Unlike other infections such as viruses‚ fungi or parasites bacteria is not always harmful in fact in many cases bacteria can be useful to the living

Bacterial and fungi infections are easy to cure with the use of antibiotics‚ where as viruses can be hard to cure or vaccinate against‚ such as the common cold. Bacteria can be found everywhere and anywhere Soil‚ Water‚ Plants‚ Animals‚ material and even deep in the earth’s crust. Bacteria feed themselves by making there food with the use of sunlight and water. We would not
