1Identify the difference between bacteria‚viruses‚fungi and parasites. Bacteria are organisims made up of one cell.They multiply by themselves. Bacteria is everywhere inside and outside our bodies.Some are mostly harmless and some can be useful. Viruses. They are too small to see even by the eye. Cannot not muliply on their own so there fore need an host. They are capable of latching on to cells. We are often open to attack by them. Fungi Comes in the forms of mushrooms and toadstools

among the poisonous tentacles of the sea anemone‚ but offers no known benefit to its host. A common and widespread symbiosis occurs between terrestrial plants and fungi that colonize their roots; this is called "mycorrhizae.” Unlike pathogenic fungi that cause disease‚ mycorrhizal fungi benefit the plant in several ways. These fungi germinate from spores in the soil to form thin threadlike structures called hyphae‚ which grow into the roots of plants. Once the roots are colonized‚ the fungal hyphae

parts and how they work for fungi and bacteria Most fungal species are multicellular. Most fungi do not have flagella in any phase of their life cycle. They move toward food by growing toward it. The main body of most fungi is made up of fine‚ branching‚ and usually colourless threads called hyphae. Each fungus will have vast numbers of these hyphae‚ all intertwining to make up a tangled web called the mycelium. Fungi decompose dead animals and plant matter. Fungi releases carbon dioxide to the

and carnivorous species) acquire most mineral nutrients from the soil primarily via two pathways: 1) direct absorption through the roots‚ and 2) indirect absorption through symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi. The majority of plants can take up phosphorus via both pathways but depend primarily on mycorrhizal fungi to acquire phosphorus. http://soil-environment.blogspot.com/2010/08/role-of-mycorrhiza-in-mineral-nutrition.html A.

In the Kingdom Exploration lab‚ five different organisms were observed under a microscope‚ (Yeast‚ Paramecium‚ Elodea‚ Daphnia‚ Euglena). Each of these organisms is apart of one of the six kingdoms‚ (Eubacteria‚ Archaebacteria‚ Fungi‚ Protista‚ Plantae‚ and Animalia) which are apart of three domains‚ (Archaea‚ Bacteria‚ and Eukarya). In this lab‚ however‚ none of the organisms observed were archaea or bacteria. Also‚ all the organisms were eukaryotes‚ not prokaryotes‚ which are organisms without

Deterioration occurs because of some factors that give an impact to the archival materials. The factors are divided into two groups which is inherent factor and external factor. Compare to external factor‚ inherent factor is the biggest responsible for deterioration of archival materials. According to M.C.

Viruses – it is a coated genetic material that invades cells and uses 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) Identify common illnesses and infections caused by bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites
