DISEASES AND MICROORGANIS
MS
What it is.. Any organism too small to be viewed by the
unaided eye.
Examples: bacteria or some fungi and algae.
1. MICROORGANISM
What it is.. A condition of an organ, or system of an organism. A disease may
result from various causes such as: infection, genetic defect, or
environmental stress. Diseases are characterized by an identifiable group of
signs or symptoms.
Examples: Cancer, Malaria, or Ebola
2. DISEASE
What it is… A very large group of microorganisms comprising one of the
three domains of living organisms. They are prokaryotic, unicellular, and either
free-living in soil or water or parasites of plants or animals.
Examples: E. coli and Staphylococcus
3. BACTERIA
What it is… An extremely small living thing that causes a disease and that spreads from one person or animal to
another.
Examples: Rhino Virus - Common cold or a flu virus
4. VIRUS
What it is.. Malaria is a disease that is spread by the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito. Malaria symptoms include fever,
chills, and nausea.
Examples OR CONNECTIONS: Malaria is a deadly disease just as small pox was before
vaccine protection.
5. MALARIA
What it is… A plant or an animal organism that lives in or on another and
takes its nourishment from that other organism.
Examples: leech, lice, mosquitos
6. PARASITES
What it is…A substance that is usually injected into a person or animal to protect against a
particular disease
Examples: Whooping cough vaccine, chicken pox vaccine, flu vaccine
7. VACCINE
What it is… A deadly virus that causes fearsome symptoms, the most prominent being high fever and massive internal bleeding. Ebola
virus kills as many as 90% of the people it infects
Examples or CONNECTIONS: Ebola has a high death rate just as AIDS.
8. EBOLA
What it is… Any one of a group of related plants that have no flowers and
that live on dead or decaying things
Examples: molds, mushrooms, or yeasts)
9. FUNGI
What it is …Protozoans are simple organisms, or living things. Most protozoans are so tiny
that they can be seen only with a microscope.
Example or CONNECTIONS: They belong to a group of organisms called protists, which are
neither plants nor animals.
