What is the main difference between fungi and bacteria?

• Fungi have a cell wall made of different material than the cell walls of bacteria.

• Fungi are microscopic while bacteria are macroscopic.

• Fungi have a defined nucleus and a cell membrane, while bacteria do not.

• Fungi can break down food sources through a process called fermentation, while bacteria cannot.

How do viruses cause disease?

• Viruses invade healthy cells and force them to produce more viruses.

• Viruses break down food sources through a process called fermentation.

• Viruses absorb nutrients from other living things or from dead and decaying organisms.

• Viruses have a defined nucleus and a cell membrane.

What is the main role of bacteria in ecosystems?

• Bacteria are valuable as recyclers in ecosystems.

• Bacteria can carry out photosynthesis.

• Bacteria break down food sources through a process called fermentation.

• Bacteria invade healthy cells and cause diseases.
