PROTOCTISTS, BACTERIA AND VIRUSES Flashcards
PROTOCTISTS ARE (…) ORGANISMS
EUKARYOTIC
BACTERIA ARE (…) ORGANISMS AND (…) PROKARYOTIC CELL
PROKARYOTIC AND SINGLE
DESCRIPTION OF PROTOCTISTS
1) THEY ARE SINGLE-CELLED AND MICROSCOPIC (REALLY TINY)
2) SOME HAVE CHLOROPLAST AND ARE SIMILAR TO PLANT CELL
3) OTHERS ARE MORE LIKE ANIMALS
BACTERIA DESCRIPTION
1) THEY ARE SINGLE-CELLED AND MICROSCOPIC
2) THEY DONT HAVE A NUCLEUS
3) THEY HAVE A CIRCULAR CHROMOSOME OF DNA
4) SOME CAN PHOTOSYNTHESISE
5) MOST BACTERIA FEED OFF OTHER ORGANISMS (BOTH LIVING AND DEAD)
VIRUSES DESCRIPTION
1) THEY ARE OPARTICLES NOT CELLS (SMALLER THAN BACTERIA)
2) THEY CAN ONLY REPRODUCE INSIDE A LIVING CELL
3) THEY INFECT ALL TYPES OF LIVING ORGANISMS
4) THEY COME IN LOADS OF DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES
5) THEY DONT HAVE A CELULAR STRUCTURE
6) THEY HAVE A PROTEIN COAT AROUND A GENETIC MATERIAL (DNA OR RNA)
WHAT ARE PATHOGENS
ORGANISMS THAT CAUSE DISEASE
WHAT DOES PATHOGENS INCLUDE
FUNGI, PROTOCTISTS AND BACTERIA
(…) ARE ALSO PATHOGENS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT LIVING ORGANISMS
