https://padlet.com/1717877/886y6w5s1e67 A bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease. en-us 2016-12-19 14:55:52 UTC 2024-08-04 03:03:22 UTC hello@padlet.com 1717877 https://padlet.com/1717877/886y6w5s1e67/wish/144320764 A submicroscopic agents that that affect living organisms.
Characteristics
Virus adapt well to their host organism. All viruses a capsid or head region. Single type of nucleic acid.
What Are They Made Of
A virus is a tiny bundle of genetic material, either DNA or RNA, carried in a shell called the viral coat or capsid. It is made up of protein and capsomeres.
How Do They Reproduce
The virus attaches itself to a host cell and injects its genetic material into the host cell. The host cell uses the genetic material to make new viruses.
What Diseases Can They Cause
It can cause chickenpox, flu, herpes, shingles, and mumps.]]> 2016-12-19 14:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/1717877/886y6w5s1e67/wish/144320764 1717877 https://padlet.com/1717877/886y6w5s1e67/wish/144472456 Bacteria are microscopic living organisms that can be found everywhere.
Characteristics
-Fungi are heterotrophic.-Fungi disperse themselves by releasing spores.-Most fungi grow as tubular filaments called hyphae.
What Are They Made Of
Bacteria has a pili, flagella, and a cell capsule. It has no nucleus and other organelles.
How Do They Reproduce
Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. The bacteria divides into two identical daughter cells.
What Diseases Can They Cause
It can cause salmonella, gonorrhea, tuberculosis, escherichia coli, and helicobacter pylori.

Characteristics
-Fungi are heterotrophic.-Fungi disperse themselves by releasing spores.-Most fungi grow as tubular filaments called hyphae.
What Are They Made Of
The majority of fungi are made are composed of hyphae. Hyphaes have thick rigid walls around it made out of chitin.
How Do They Reproduce
Fungi can reproduce sexual or asexual. The sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two nuclei when two sex cells unite. When they join they produce spores that can grow into new organisms. Most fungi reproduce asexually.
What Diseases Can They Cause
Fungi can cause athlete’s foot, ring worms, candida infection, fungal meningitis, and aspergillus infection.]]> 2016-12-20 18:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/1717877/886y6w5s1e67/wish/144513894 1717877 https://padlet.com/1717877/886y6w5s1e67/wish/144525179 An organism that lives,feeds, and benefits off of nutrients that it derives from its host.
Characteristics
-They are mostly smaller than their host.-Adaption to broad range of climatic conditions.-Ability to occupy all the host inhabited niches and to survive well.-High searching capacity of host and utilize the host.
What Are They Made Of
Parasites can be made of one cell or many cells. Parasites cannot live independently.
How Do They Reproduce
Parasites reproduce sexually. In intermediate hosts parasites either do or do not reproduce asexually.
