1. THIS IS A VIRUS A Virus is not living- Nor is it considered dead
It must have a host cell to reproduce and perform life functions
A virus has either DNA or RNA, not both!
Tail fibers are specific protein receptor, that is why some viruses can affect only humans, only plants, or only a certain type of animal or plant.

2. Viruses can come in many shapes and forms

3. ARE NOT TREATABLE WITH ANTIBIOTICS!!!
VIRAL DISEASES
ARE NOT TREATABLE WITH
ANTIBIOTICS!!!

4. Herpes Virus
An STD
Can Affect all parts
of your body.
Incurable

5. Pox Viruses
Pox viruses are a family of viruses which includes: Chicken Pox, Cow Pox, Small Pox, etc.
Smallpox is a deadly disease causing terrible scars.
It was wiped out by widespread vaccination several decades ago.

6. WARTS
Blister-like bumps caused by viruses in the skin.

7. INFLUENZA (FLU)
Th flu virus mutates so quickly that a new vaccine is required every year.

8. Human Immune Virus (HIV)

HIV attacks the Helper T cells of the immune system.
You do not die from HIV, you die from other infections that lead to death. HIV destroys your immune system causing AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

10. ARE TREATABLE WITH ANTIBIOTICS!!!
BACTERIAL DISEASES

11. sSTREPTOCOCCUS
Round bacteria that arrange themselves in strings (chains).
Cause dangerous infections in humans such as: Strep throat, scarlet fever

12. DIPTHERIA
Deadly bacterial infection that can be prevented by vaccination (DPT)

13. RHIZOBIUM
Bacteria that live in soil that transform atmospheric nitrogen and turn it into useful nutrients (nitrates) for plants

14. LACTOBACILLUS
Bacteria used to make yogurt and other dairy products.

15. E. Coli
Bacteria found in the human intestines that produce vitamin D and aid in digestion.

16. BACTERIA VIRUSES Structure Reproduction Treatment Harm Benefits
Prokaryotic cells with cell wall, ribosomes and a loop of DNA
Protein coat, DNA or RNA, envelope
Reproduction
Asexual by binary fission
Only inside a host cess using cell machinery
Treatment
Antibiotics. Some can be prevented by vaccines before exposure.
Some can be prevented by vaccines before exposure.
Harm
Cause disease in plants and animals; spoil food.
Invade specific cells of plants and animals; reproduce inside the cells and destroy cells.
Benefits
Produce food (yogurt); fix nitrogen in the soil,produce vitamin D in the large intestine; decomposers
Used in research
