Go back to your list of MICROBES/MICRO-ORGANISMS

MICRO-ORGANISMS = MICROBES BACTERIA VIRUSES PROTOZOA (protists) some FUNGI some PARASITES

MICRO-ORGANISMS = MICROBES BACTERIA VIRUSES PROTOZOA (protists) some FUNGI some PARASITES ONE of these things is NOT like the other!

MICRO-ORGANISMS = MICROBES BACTERIA VIRUSES PROTOZOA (protists) some FUNGI some PARASITES ALIVE!

MICRO-ORGANISMS = MICROBES BACTERIA VIRUSES PROTOZOA (protists) some FUNGI some PARASITES ALIVE! ALIVE! ALIVE!

How are other microorganisms alive but viruses are not? http://archives.microbeworld.org/microbes/virus/

VIRUSES CAN’T REPRODUCE ON THEIR OWN. NOT ASSEXUALLY NOT SEXUALLY

But HOW CAN VIRUSES BE SO DANGEROUS if they CAN’T REPRODUCE?

Viruses tinier than bacteria. Compare. http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/begin/cells/scale

Viruses are EVEN SIMPLER microbes than bacteria! No membrane, no cytoplasm

Remember, viruses are really tiny Remember, viruses are really tiny. And VIRUSES are the SIMPLEST ORGANISMS. (A VIRUS is ONLY some GENETIC MATERIAL (RNA or DNA) SURROUNDED by a PROTEIN COATING (capsid)

Remember, viruses are really tiny Remember, viruses are really tiny. And VIRUSES are the SIMPLEST ORGANISMS. (A VIRUS is ONLY some GENETIC MATERIAL (RNA or DNA) SURROUNDED by a PROTEIN COATING.) THAT’S IT: JUST SOME GENETIC STUFF in a HARD SHELL

Because they aren’t “alive”, they can do absolutely nothing for years. Like a volcano.

But IF A VIRUS CONTACTS A LIVING THING… Be you a bacteria, protist, tree or human!

But IF A VIRUS CONTACTS A LIVING THING, IT INJECTS ITS GENETIC MATERIAL INTO THAT CELL! Be you a bacteria, protist, tree or human!

But IF A VIRUS CONTACTS A LIVING THING, IT INJECTS ITS GENETIC MATERIAL INTO THAT CELL! Any unicellular or multi-celled creature is susceptible to viral attack! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO8MP3wMvqg

Like a zombie pirate terrorist… VIRUSES HIJACK your cell!

What does that mean to the poor cell?

So, instead of your cell doing what it is supposed to do… like help you breathe if a lung cell. absorbing & using chemical energy thru diffusion & cell respiration

So, instead of your cell doing what it is supposed to do… like help you breathe if a lung cell. like help you move if a muscle cell. absorbing & using chemical energy thru diffusion & cell respiration growing thru protein synthesis

So, instead of your cell doing what it is supposed to do… like help you breathe if a lung cell. like help you move if a muscle cell. like help you feel if a nerve cell. reproducing thru mitosis, meiosis, or binary fission absorbing & using chemical energy thru diffusion & cell respiration growing thru protein synthesis

So, instead of your cell doing what it is supposed to do, your cell HOSTS a VIRUS PARTY!

A VIRUS REPROGRAMS A “host” CELL TO BECOME A VIRUS FACTORY! AND THIS AIN’T GOOD FOR THE CELL…NO WAY!!!

A VIRUS REPROGRAMS A “host” CELL TO BECOME A VIRUS FACTORY! AND THIS AIN’T GOOD FOR THE CELL…NO WAY!!! This “host” cell eventually fills up with little viruses until the cell EXPLODES and out comes more viruses ready for infection!

AND YOU CAN GUESS WHAT ALL THESE NEWLY CREATED VIRUSED WILL DO NEXT… NO, THEY AREN’T GOING TO PARTY…

And THESE MANY NEW VIRUSES NOW INVADE & HIJACK MORE OF YOUR CELLS. nasty little invaders!

And THESE MANY NEW VIRUSES NOW INVADE & HIJACK MORE OF YOUR CELLS. nasty little invaders! MORE of YOUR CELLS EXPLODE, RELEASING EVEN MORE ZOMBIE PIRATE TERRORISTS!

Many viruses like the HIV/AIDS virus hardly spends ANY time outside of your cells!

Many viruses like the HIV/AIDS virus hardly spends ANY time outside of your cells! YOUR CELLS LET THEM IN!

DANGERS of VIRAL ATTACK! THEY CAN GO ON ATTACKING WHILE UNDETECTED!

DANGERS of VIRAL ATTACK! THEY CAN GO ON ATTACKING WHILE UNDETECTED! ONCE INSIDE YOUR CELL, THE ONLY WAY TO DESTROY THEM IS TO DESTROY THE CELL!

DANGERS of VIRAL ATTACK! THEY CAN GO ON ATTACKING WHILE UNDETECTED! ONCE INSIDE YOUR CELL, THE ONLY WAY TO DESTROY THEM IS TO DESTROY THE CELL! EVEN IF THE VIRUSES DON’T DESTROY YOUR CELLS, IT CAN MUTATE YOUR DNA!

Thankfully, some even NASTIER ones are NOT as common… ebola, HIV/AIDS, polio…

What came first: bacteria or viruses? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVLo2CtB3GA Are viruses nano-technology???? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sizO5XSnzCU FIRST 45 seconds

What other pathogens are out there????

man, how do we kill/destroy such microbes?
