Unit 20 – Causes and Spread of Infection 1.1 Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria‚ fungi and parasites are all considered as ‘living’ things‚. Bacteria are single celled microorganisms that can only been seen through a microscope‚ they collect their nutrition from their surrounding and unlike viruses‚ they do not need a living host to reproduce. Viruses are difficult to destroy because they are enclosed in a protein coating. Viruses are disease-producing

Case Story‚ Question 4 Why would Ed’s RBCs be a good host for a parasitic protozoan? RBC’s are a good host because they allow the protozoan to grow and multiply.

THE RED QUEEN A variety of theories have been proposed over the years to explain why sexual reproduction may be more advantageous than asexual reproduction‚ and‚ for that matter‚ why sexual reproduction even exists at all.
