What organisms grow best at 37 degrees Celsius?
e coli because optimal growth of E. coli occurs at 37°C (98.6°F)
What is the difference between a primary and an opportunistic pathogen?
Primary Pathogens are the microorganisms that cause diseases in healthy individual. Opportunistic Pathogens are the microorganisms that are ordinarily in contact with the host and cause disease when the host's resistance is low.
What is an organisms that absorbs food from the host on which it lives?
fungus
What are two ways pathogenic organisms can cause disease or infection?
Sallam... Pathogenic organisms cause infection and disease by feeding off the host and making them weak and by reproducing extremely fast inside the host destroying the cells. They also carry bacteria that makes us sick..
Why does the immune system need to destroy pathogen?
The immune system needs to destroy the pathogens. Other wise the pathogens will multiply in the body of host. The pathogens will multiply by geometrical proportion. With in very short time the pathogens will occupy the whole body. You can no longer survive in that case.
Which term refers to disease-causing organisms that invade the body?
name 3 organisms that invade bodies
How could growing microbes help a pathogen?
Pathogens are also microbial organisms. They just require a healthy host to transfer them to other healthy hosts thus spreading the disease. If one grows a colony of microbes it attracts the pathogens and helps them to infect them and carry the disease with them.
What pathogens are intracellular and what are intracellular?
intracellular pathogens can only replicate inside a host cell, whereas extracellular pathogens can replicate independent of the host

What is the difference between a primary and an opportunistic pathogen?
Primary Pathogens are the microorganisms that cause diseases in healthy individual. Opportunistic Pathogens are the microorganisms that are ordinarily in contact with the host and cause disease when the host's resistance is low.
What effect do pathogens have on the body?
your body produces antigens to fight against the pathogens and imune you agaist diseases.
How do pathogens survive outside the host?
Many pathogens outside the body can be killed with heat or chemicals. Inside the body, pathogens can sometimes be killed with medicine.
What is the relationship between a virus and a host?
Virus require a host to carry out the most of the characteristics of living organisms. In almost cases, viruses require a host to reproduce (by hijacking the cells of the host and using its DNA to make copies of itself) and also receive the bulk of their energy from the host.
What are organisms that obtain energy by feeding on other organisms?
an organism that gets energy from another organism is a consumer. they fall into many catergories. # carnivore- kills and eats another organism # parasite- feeds of a host but keeps the host organism alive for as long as possible # herbivore- eats plant organisms # omnivore- eats both plant and animal organisms # scavengers- eats dead organisms
What is an organisms that absorbs food from the host on which it lives?
fungus
What are pathogens?
A pathogen is an infectious agent that causes illness to the host. These are commonly attributed to be bacteria and viruses.They can also be simple organisms, such as Naegleria fowleri [the uncommon brain eating ameoba]. Most pathogens are infectious microbes, such as bacteria or viruses, which are capable of causing disease. Other parasites, such as fungi and protozoans, are also considered pathogens. Because not all microbes are harmful, pathogens refer specifically to those that can cause disease or other harm.All of the above
Is blood sterile?
Yes it is. Among other regions such as the nervous system and the muscles which are also sterile. +++ The materials themselves are, but they can carry pathogens that may not be hurting the host but could infect anyone else.
