Bacteria Protozoa Viruses Wormsarrow_forwardWhich organism is least likely to cause disease? bacteria protozoa algae parasitic worms virusesarrow_forwardWhy are large parasitic worms included in studies of microbes? All parasitic organisms are classified as microbes. They always live in symbiotic relationships with other microbes. They do not share a common ancestor with other animal groups. Their life cycle resembles that of protozoans. Proper identification of them often involves an analysis of microscopic eggs and larvae.arrow_forward
- What is an antibiotic? it is any type of chemical that is toxic it is a general disinfectant effective against most types of cells and viruses it is a type chemical produced by a bacterium or fungus that has the potential to control the growth of another bacterium allows exchange of organisms between your bacteria culture and the environment it is a macromolecule produced by the vertebrate immune system that helps destroy foreign cellsarrow_forwardWhich statements describe ways in which antibiotic resistant bacteria can spread? Health care workers become infected after have interacting with sick patients. Hospital visitors transfer resistant bacteria from patients to family or community members. Animals raised for meat or milk are routinely given antibiotics. Animal feces is used as a fertilizer for food crops. Antibacterial soaps are used at home, at schools, and in hospitals.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the best definition of the word extremophile? bacteria that can withstand very acidic conditions bacteria that can withstand very salty conditions archaea that can withstand temperatures over 120°C bacteria that are able to live in extreme conditionsarrow_forward
