What are amylases? Amylases are enzymes that break down starch or glycogen. Amylases are produced by a variety of living organisms‚ ranging from bacteria to plants and humans. Bacteria and fungi secrete amylases to the outside of their cells to carry out extracellular digestion. When they have broken down the insoluble starch‚ the soluble end products such as (glucose or maltose) are absorbed into their cells. Amylases are classified based on how they break down starch molecules i. α-amylase

Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites All 4 are different types of pathogens Bacteria is a single celled organism that multiply by themselves. They lives within and on most living and nonliving things. The majority of bacteria’s are harmless and beneficial to the human body but some can cause infectious diseases. A bacterium usually affects one part of the body and doesn’t spread across or through the body. Bacterial infections

The 4 different types of Microbes Organisms that cause disease are known as pathogens. The 4 different types of microbes than can cause disease are; Bacteria Bacteria‚ also known as Bacterium in the singular term‚ are a prokaryote. Prokaryotes are simple ‚ single celled organisms. Bacteria get their nutrients from the environments in which they live‚ in some cases‚ that is the human body. http://kidshealth.org/kid/talk/qa/germs.html They are larger than viruses‚ but smaller than human body

diseases. Immunocompromised hosts are more likely to get an eye infection caused by fungi because the immune response is generally very effective at controlling fungal infections‚ therefore it will eliminate pathogenic fungi when they begin to grow in the body and cause diseases. However an individual who is immunocompromised the fungi on the inside or the outside colonize leaving them with lower levels of fungi that exists as a commensal in the body which can outgrow and cause a disease‚ unfettered

NAME: Andrade Sanjines Paola Andrea THE FIVE KINGDOMS In the world there is a great variety of living creatures and each belongs to a kingdom. The five major kingdoms are: the kingdom monera‚ the kingdom protista‚ the kingdom fungi‚ the kingdom of the plants‚ and the kingdom of the animals. The kingdom monera contains primitive organisms. These organisms are very small‚ single celled and do not have a nucleus. They consist of prokaryotes which include species like the bacteria‚ archae bacteria
