Identify structure and characteristics of the following bacteria viruses and fungi?

Answer 1

Bacteria:

-Structure: cell wall made of peptidoglycan, no membrane-bound organelles, sometimes have flagella, nucleoid region with DNA in it

-Characteristics: they are prokaryotes; can cause infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, as well as food poisoning (E. coli, etc.); can breakdown nitrogen from dead animals; two types of bacteria: Eubacteria and Archaebacteria (of the Domains Bacteria and Archaea), of the obsolete (no longer used) Kingdom Monera

Viruses

-Structure: consist of two or three parts: either DNA or RNA (usually RNA), a protein coat that protects these genes, and sometimes an envelope of lipids that surrounds the protein coat when they are outside a cell

-Characteristics: not considered to be alive, parasites, need to be inside a host to replicate (make more of themselves), infectious, attach to host cells and kill them, may have evolved from plasmids (circular rings of bacterial DNA that can move between cells)

Fungi

-Structure: have asexual or sexual spores (spores being reproductive structures protruding from the fungus), hyphal structure, cell walls made of chitin

-Characteristics: they are heterotrophs, eukaryotes, can cause infections like athlete's foot, and ; either saprobes (get their nutrients from dead, previously living matter) or parasites (get their nutrients from living matter (the living matter is called a host)), of the Kingdom Fungi

I'm sorry I can't help you more. This should be plenty info, though! I'm taking AP Bio right now, but I forgot some of what we learned about this stuff. I hope this helps you anyway!
