  2. What are germs? E.Coli • Bacteria • Virus • Fungi • protozoa The common cold virus rhinovirus 16 contains 60 sites capable of connecting to a receptor Parasitic protozoa

  3. Bacteria • tiny, one-cell creatures • get nutrients from their environments in order to live. • In some cases that environment is a human body. • Bacteria can reproduce outside of the body or within the body as they cause infections. • Some infections bacteria cause include sore throats (tonsillitis or strep throat), ear infections, cavities, and pneumonia.

  4. Virus • need to be inside living cells to grow and reproduce. • Most viruses can't survive very long if they're not inside a living thing like a plant, animal, or person. • Whatever a virus lives in is called its host. When viruses get inside people's bodies, they can spread and make people sick. • Viruses cause chickenpox, measles, flu, and many other diseases. Because some viruses can live for a while on something like a doorknob or countertop.

  5. Fungi • multi-cell (made of many cells), plant-like organisms. • Unlike other plants, fungi cannot make their own food from soil, water, and air. • fungi get their nutrition from plants, people, and animals. • They love to live in damp, warm places, and most fungi are not dangerous. • An example of something caused by fungi is athlete's foot, that itchy rash that teens and adults sometimes get between their toes.

  6. Protozoa • one-cell organisms that love moisture and often spread diseases through water. • Some protozoa cause intestinal infections that lead to diarrhea (runny poop), nausea, and belly pain.
