Identify the differences between bacteria viruses‚ Fungi and Parasites. Viruses are pieces of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) wrapped in a thin coat of protein that replicate only within the cells of living hosts. Bacteria are one-cell microorganisms with a simple cellular organization whose nucleus lacks a membrane. Parasites may be protozoa‚ yeasts‚ or multicellular organisms such as fungi or worms that live in or on a host to obtain nourishment without providing any benefit to the host. Fungi

Bacteria and Fungi are both very diverse groups of organisms and have numerous characteristics which set them apart from other living creatures. The domain bacteria possess traits which differentiate themselves from other organisms for example bacteria have prokaryotic cells‚ which means that their cells lack a nucleus‚ instead‚ they contain a nucleoid which contains a single circular chromosome. Additionally‚ bacteria do not have membrane-bound organelles‚ but most do have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan

The 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

Virus and Bacteria Virus - A virus is a capsule of protein that contains genetic material. A virus cannot reproduce on its own; it must infect a living cell to grow. Bacteria - Bacteria are one-celled organisms that live on their own. They can multiply and reproduce by subdivision Bacteria and viruses cause many of the diseases we are familiar with and may sound synonymous; they are greatly different from each other. [pic] o They differ greatly in size. The biggest viruses are only as large

2.1 Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria – bacteria are extremely small singular organisms which are found almost everywhere. Viruses – it is a coated genetic material that invades cells and use’s the cells apparatus for reproduction. Fungi – it is a multi-celled living organism Parasites – they are types of living plants and animals that derive benefit from the metabolism of other animals and plants. 2.2 Identify common illnesses

Raudah P. Mangbisa Grade VIII-Nilo VIRUS A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms. Viruses can infect all types of life forms‚ from animals and plants to bacteria and archaea. Characteristics: Like living organisms‚ viruses contain nucleic acids and proteins. Inside living cells‚ viruses can reproduce‚ but not by the process of mitosis like most living cells. Viruses lack some characteristics of living organisms. Outside of living cells‚ viruses are

Introduction There are both virulent and non-virulent bacteria and fungi that grow on plants. It is difficult to distinguish between the two without proper inspection and diagnosis of the diseased plant to know whether the bacteria or the fungus in question is the virulent or non-virulent one. Therefore pure cultures need to be isolated to know with absolute certainty which is the causative bacteria or fungus. Potato dextrose agar is a good nutrient agar for mycelia to thrive on which is present

P1: you must explain how infections are caused by‚ bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. P2: you must explain how pathogenic microorganisms grow and spread. In this assignment I am going to explain how infections are caused by‚ bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. I will then explain how pathogenic microorganisms grow and spread. Infection is the process where germs enter a susceptible area in the body‚ where they multiply‚ resulting in disease. Colonisation is where microbes are present

Virus vs. Bacteria Similarities – Virus vs. Harmful Bacteria Virus and Bacteria are similar. But yet they are different. Viruses and bacteria can make copies of themselves once they are inside a living organism (“J. L.”). They are both harmful bacteria and viruses. These bacteria and viruses can be helpful to the body. All diseases that people get are from virus and bacteria( Microbe Magic). Bacteria and virus are both microscopic organisms that have the same brain structure that why they are called

What are bacteria? Bacteria are very different from viruses. First of all‚ bacteria are much larger in size. The largest virus is only as big as the very smallest bacterium (singular for bacteria). But bacteria are still microscopic and cannot be seen with the naked eye. They are so small that the sizes of bacteria are measured in micrometers (10‚000 micrometers = 1 centimeter). By comparison‚ the head of a pin is about 1000 micrometers wide. Though more complex than a virus‚ the structure of a
