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

BACTERIA VIRUSES PROTOZOA (protists) some FUNGI some PARASITES ONE of these things is NOT like the other!

BACTERIA VIRUSES PROTOZOA (protists) some FUNGI some PARASITES ALIVE!

BACTERIA VIRUSES PROTOZOA (protists) some FUNGI some PARASITES ALIVE! ALIVE! ALIVE!

BACTERIA VIRUSES PROTOZOA (protists) some FUNGI some PARASITES ** NOT ALIVE**

How are other microorganisms alive but viruses are not?

What separates the living….

What separates the living from the NON-living?

What separates the living….

bacteria virus

Bacteria & protists viruses

bacteria & protists viruses

bacteria, protists, fungi viruses

Bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, animals= ALL ALIVE viruses= NOT ALIVE!!

Compare & contrast… LIVING THINGS…. NON-LIVING THINGS…

LIVING THINGS…. NON-LIVING THINGS… ABSORB & USE ENERGY GROW REPRODUCE DON’T ABSORB & USE ENERGY DON’T GROW 3. DON’T REPRODUCE

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.

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!

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

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

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!!!

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 THIS AIN’T GOOD FOR THE CELL…NO WAY!!! This “host” cell eventually fills up with little viruses until the cell EXPLODES and out come more viruses ready for infection!

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! The “host” cell DIES.

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!

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

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!

MUTAGENS can cause CANCERS & CHANGE your DNA!
RADIATION

RADIATION CHEMICALS

RADIATION CHEMICALS VIRUSES!!!

RADIATION CHEMICALS VIRUSES!!! HPV

VIRUSES can be NASTY!

COMMON PATHOGENIC/CONTAGION VIRUSES:
FLU (influenza) COLDS CHICKEN POX

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

Let’s read about the ZIKA virus!!!

No treatment yet…only prevention.

BACTERIOPHAGE VID… LET’S MAKE ONE!!!!

Bacteriophage activity…

END DAY

What came first: bacteria or viruses?
Are viruses nano-technology???? FIRST 45 seconds

What other pathogens are out there????

man, how do we kill/destroy such microbes?

next… anti-microbial resistance. HIV infection…
