What are groups of the microorganisms?
protozoa fungi bacteria viruses prions
Is bacterium larger than prions?
Yes, bacteria are larger and more complex than prions. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that have a cell structure and can carry out various biological functions, while prions are infectious proteins that do not have a cell structure.
Is prions eukaryote or prokaryote?
Prions are neither eukaryotes nor prokaryotes; they are infectious proteins that can induce abnormal folding of normal cellular proteins. Unlike bacteria or eukaryotic cells, prions do not have a cellular structure or genetic material. They are associated with various neurodegenerative diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Why not use antibacterial or antiviral drugs to destroy prions?
Prions are not susceptible to antibacterial or antiviral drugs because they are not living organisms like bacteria or viruses. Prions are misfolded proteins that cause other proteins to misfold, leading to disease. They are resistant to most traditional forms of disinfection or drug treatment.
How are bacteria unlike virusesviroidsor prion?
Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotic organisms that can reproduce independently and have cellular structures, including a cell wall and metabolic machinery. In contrast, viruses, viroids, and prions are acellular entities; viruses require a host cell to replicate, viroids consist of short RNA strands without a protein coat, and prions are misfolded proteins that induce misfolding in normal proteins. Additionally, bacteria can carry out metabolic processes and respond to stimuli, while viruses and prions do not exhibit metabolic activity.
What includes infectious bacteria?
prions
What are groups of the microorganisms?
protozoa fungi bacteria viruses prions

What are the types of microorganism?
There are many things considered to microscopic microorganisms. The term organism means that these are alive so viruses, viroids and prions are not part of the group. That leaves bacteria of various sizes and shapes, protozoa and phytoplankton.
What are some characteristics of members of residents microbiota?
Archaea,Bacteria,Prions and Viruses
What are 5 classes of infectious agents?
Prions, Viruses, Bacteria, Fungi, and Animal Parasites.
What is infectious diseases caused by?
"germs" -- bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and possibly prions
Can mad cow disease by identified by a gram stain?
Mad Cow Disease cannot be identified by a gram stain. Mad Cow Disease is caused by prions, incorrectly folded proteins. Gram staining is a way to separate bacteria into two groups - positive and negative - and cannot be used to identify prions, since prions are not bacteria.
Is prions eukaryote or prokaryote?
Prions are neither eukaryotes nor prokaryotes; they are infectious proteins that can induce abnormal folding of normal cellular proteins. Unlike bacteria or eukaryotic cells, prions do not have a cellular structure or genetic material. They are associated with various neurodegenerative diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

How do prions differ from viruses and bacteria?
Prions are unique infectious agents composed solely of misfolded proteins, lacking nucleic acids, while viruses are made up of genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat and require a host cell to replicate. Bacteria are single-celled organisms with a cellular structure, capable of independent metabolism and reproduction. Unlike viruses and bacteria, prions propagate by inducing abnormal folding in normal proteins, leading to neurodegenerative diseases without any genetic material involved.
