Question
Answer
Neutralism   show
🗑
show In parts of Africa herds of animals, like zebras and wildebeests, travel and graze together. The increased size may allow a greater degree of alertness to danger from predators, but there is essentially no direct benefit to either type of organism.  
🗑
Parasitism   show
🗑
show  
🗑
show A relationship between two organisms that live inside humans in mutualistic relationships. They are nonpathogenic.  
🗑
show However, other organisms that enter the body can cause a variety of diseases, generally through the production of toxins that disrupt normal cell functioning.  
🗑
Classes of microorganisms   show
🗑
show a widely distributed unicellular organism that may or may not cause disease.  
🗑
The pleural of bacterium is bacteria. There are three primary ways of classifying bacteria. They are classified by their shape, by their arrangements, and by whether they require oxygen or not.   show
🗑
show a subcellular organism that reproduces as a parasite within other organisms and, consequently, is pathogenic.  
🗑
Viruses are smaller than bacteria. They consist of DNA or RNA within protein shell of each virus has a distinct shape. During reproduction, the virus enters a cell in the host and uses the chromosomes and enzymes in the cell to replicate itself.   show
🗑
Unicellular   show
🗑
show The organism that provides the resources required to sustain a parasitic relationship.  
🗑
Protozoan   show
🗑
The plural of protozoan is protozoa. Many protozoa are pathogenic to humans. Some, such as those that cause amebic dysentary and glardiasis, are contracted by consuming infected food or water.   show
🗑
show a capsule that forms around microorganisms before they enter dormant periods.  
🗑
Some microorganisms enter periods in which they are inactive, often because environmental conditions may not be favorable to them, such as during a drought.   show
🗑
show a condition of severe diarrhea often accompanied by blood and mucus that results form an infection of protozoa.  
🗑
Giardiasis   show
🗑
show A parasitic infection of red blood cells by plasmodium virus transmitted by the bite of certain mosquitoes.  
🗑
Fungus   show
🗑
show In some cases, persons with weakened immune systems may experience serious illness and even death from inhaling spores that infect the pulmonary regions. A yeast induced illness is called a mycosis.  
🗑
A yeast induced illness is called a mycosis.Unicellular fungi are called yeast, and many of them are pathogenic to humans, causing yeast infections in moist areas of the body, athletes foot, ringworm, and other conditions.   show
🗑
show the dormant form of a bacterium or the reproductive form of a fungus.  
🗑
Worm   show
🗑
Generally referred to as helminths in the medical profession, parasitic worms can produce very serious infestations because they live inside the body and feed on the host's blood and nutrients.   show
🗑
Infestation   show
🗑
show an invertebrate organism with six or more jointed legs and an exoskeleton.  
🗑
All insects, arachnids, and creatures such as lobsters and crabs are arthropods.   show
🗑
Arthropods such as fleas, ticks, flies, and mosquitoes can present additional risks to humans by carrying infectious organisms that enter the bloodstream when the arthropod bites.   show
🗑
Invertebrate   show
🗑
show a characteristic of some organisms in which the outer tissue of parts of the body are hardened to the point that they support attached softer tissues.  
🗑
show a condition of being highly sensitive to foreign substances that enter the body often because the persons immune system does not respond to the antigen of the substance.  
🗑
show Organisms that normally live in and on the bodies of healthy persons without causing harm when located in specific sites.  
🗑
Transient flora   show
🗑
show identifies the shape of a protein and indicates a positive or negative characteristic of the pathogen that allows preliminary of the organism as an aid to diagnosis.  
🗑
show One method of identifying bacteria is the gram stain, in which and infected sample, such as saliva, is treated with a dye and examined under a microscope. The shape and color of the organism is apparent under the microscope.  
🗑
show Since a genus will react as either positive or negative and a shape may be particular to a genus or species, the gram stain is often enough to specifically identify an organism.  
🗑
The tough outer cell wall   show
🗑
show often colonize with each other so that another way of identifying bacteria is by the shape of their colonies.  
🗑
Bacteria reproduce   show
🗑
Aerobic species   show
🗑
show require that no oxygen be present in order to reproduce.  
🗑
show can preproduce with or without oxygen.  
🗑
Facultative   show
🗑
Rickettsiae   show
🗑
show and are often spread by arthropods.  
🗑
show can be treated with antibiotics.  
🗑
Viruses   show
🗑
show exhibits a shape that is characteristic of that virus.  
🗑
show when they are within the living cells of a host organism.  
🗑
A virus will use the nucleic acids and enzymes   show
🗑
The severity of a viral disease depends on the type of cells that are infected.   show
🗑
Some viruses can become dormant so that they present no signs of infection and then become active again after a period of time, even years later.   show
🗑
Some viruses can be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her fetus.   show
🗑
show  
🗑
show unicellular, live in water and soil, can form cysts and become dormant, generally spread from food or water contaminated with cysts.  
🗑
Fungi   show
🗑
show may be uni or multicellular, infestation generally occurs as a result of a break in the skin or a trauma, includes surgery, and is limited to the skin or bursa, skin lesions that resemble many other conditions the diagnosis must be confirmed through labs.  
🗑
show live off nutrients in the host's body, in the host's blood, or on the host itself.  
🗑
show have several stages of life involving eggs, larvae, and adult stages.  
🗑
show generally inhabit specific body sites.  
🗑
show the inhabited site varies with the stage of development and may even involve more than one host species.  
🗑
show generally afflict the surface of a host's body and present little direct risk to the host.  
🗑
show  
🗑
Vectors of disease   show
🗑
