(don’t write)• All bacteria, some protists, and fungi are
unicellular organisms.• Together, these tiny organisms are called
microbes.

Characteristics of Living Things
• All living things are composed of cells.• All living things perform certain chemical
processes such as growth and digestion.• All living things reproduce.• All living things either make their own nutrients
or ingest nutrients from the environment.• All living things respond to stimuli such as light
and touch.

Disease
• A disease is any change that disrupts the normal function of one or more body systems.– Some diseases are caused by expose to certain
chemicals in the environment.– Other diseases are caused by traits that are
inherited.– Many disease are caused by pathogens, microbes
that cause a disease.

Disease
• Noninfectious Disease – not spread from one organisms to another
• Infectious Disease – disease caused by a pathogen

Viruses
• A virus is a particle that consists of a nucleic acid enclosed within a protein shell that requires a living cell in order to reproduce.
• Viruses lack nearly all characteristics of life.• The shape of a virus is determined by the
arrangement of the proteins in its capsid. (Capsid is the protective shell around the virus cell.)

Diseases caused by VIRUSES
• Viruses cause disease by either damaging or killing cells.
• A virus attaches to a healthy cell and then injects DNA or RNA into the cell.
• A mutagen is anything that changes the DNA of an organism. A virus can be a mutagen because it inserts its own genes into the cell’s DNA.

Diseases caused by VIRUSES
• Flu• Polio• Smallpox• Yellow Fever• Measles• AIDS
• Some types of cancer are caused by viruses. For example, cervical cancer is associated with exposure to the human papilloma virus (HPV)

Bacteria• Bacteria are commonly referred to as
prokaryotes (no nucleus).• Bacteria are organisms.• Bacteria are named after their shapes.

Classifying Bacteria
• Bacteria are classified into 2 kingdoms– Archaebacteria (can survive without oxygen)– Eubacteria (ancient prokaryotes)
![Page 11: Microbes and Diseases](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816358550346895dd40e14/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Diseases caused by BACTERIA
• Many diseases caused by bacteria have been brought under control with the help of antibiotics.
• Antibiotic Resistant – Bacteria that have developed a resistance are no longer killed by antibiotics.

Disease caused by BACTERIA
• Food poisoning• Leprosy• Lyme disease• Stomach ulcers• Pneumonia• Tuberculosis• Typhoid fever

Good Bacteria Bad Bacteria1. They help by recycling
dead animals and plants.2. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria
- get nitrogen from the air – change to form plants can use.
3. Bacteria helps fight pollution by bioremediation.
4. Bacteria is used in foods such as yogurt and cheese!
5. Medicines like antibiotics are made from bacteria!
6. Bacteria helps produce
1. Pathogenic bacteria cause diseases.
2. Pathogenic bacteria not only attacks humans. It can attack plants, animals, protists, fungi and even other bacteria!
3. The bacteria can either infect the body’s cells directly or the bacteria can produce toxins (poisons).
4. Many epic diseases in human history were caused by bacteria.

Protists and Fungi
• Protists are eukaryotes (have nucleus and membrane bound organelles)
• Kingdom Fungi includes both single-celled and multi-celled organisms.
• Fungi are not able to make their own food.

Protists and Fungi
• Some fungi act as decomposers.– Decomposers digest matter in the environment
and then take the matter they use as food into their own cells
• Other fungi act as parasites.– Parasites feed on the body fluids and tissues of
other organisms.
