What are the five major categories of fungal disease?
Fungal diseases are divided into localized and systemic infections, and then are further subdivided. Localized infections include, in order of increasing depth of infection, superficial, cutaneous, and subcutaneous mycoses. Systemic infections are divided into those that may infect anyone, and those that are opportunistic and don't infect healthy people, but infect those who are immunocompromised.
Why is it important to know whether a bacterium is motile or not?
Bacteria can be capsulated or non-capsulated. When it has no capsule (barrier), it is non-virulent. When it is capsulated, it is extremely virulent. Bacterial capsule is made of Glycocalyx - a sugar coat ( e.g. mix of Glycopeptide, peptide and polysaccheride) is well organized adheres strongly to bacterial cell membrane in such a way that no antigen or anibody can penetrate the bacterial cell membrane; allowing the bacteria extremely virulent and lethal.
Which microorganisns cannot multiply on their own?
Viruses cannot reproduce on their own. They must invade and infect other cells in order to be able to reproduce.
The Chandra X-ray Observatory must operate in space because?
x-rays do not penetrate the earths atmosphere there for it has to operate in space in order to view this part of the electromagnetic spectrum
Is the chromosome of a bacterium wrapped around proteins?
In order to fit within a cell, DNA becomes more compact by wrapping tightly around associated proteins. Chromatids are duplicate halves of a chromosome.

Why is it necessary for bacteria to be able to withstand fluctuations in temperature within the human body?
A bacterium's cell membrane allows it to withstand fluctuations in temperature within the human body. This is necessary in order for the bacterium to survive in that environment.
What is the most deadlyest animal in the rainforest?
The deadliest animal in the rain forest is a mosquito. Mosquitoes suck human blood in order to reproduce, so only the female mosquito bites you.

The shape of the sperm is a component needed in order for the sperm to penetrate the layers surrounding the egg. Each sperm needs a head, tail, and mid-piece.
What is the definition of Chlamydia?
a very small parasitic bacterium that, like a virus, requires the biochemical mechanisms of another cell in order to reproduce.
