Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such Lysosomes and peroxisomes,

nucleus, chromosomes while prokaryotic cells do not have membrane bound organelle (Corliss,

2016).

According to Merriam-Webster’s collegiate dictionary (newest ed.). (2014) archaea are

microorganisms of a domain (Archaea) such as methane-producing forms. Some of them are red

halophilic forms while others are of harsh hot acidic environments (such as hot springs).

Bacteria are microscopic living organisms, usually one-celled, that can be found in any

palace. They can be dangerous, such as when they cause infection, or beneficial, as in the process

of fermentation (such as in wine) and that of decomposition (Corliss, 2016). An example of

bacteria is Coccus.

Eukaryotic are cell that contain membrane- bound organelles. These organelles such as

lysosomes and nucleus.

Protozoa are single cell (heterotrophic eukaryotes) and small organisms.

Fungi is one of the member group of eukaryotic. An example yeasts and molds.

Algae is a polyphyletic, one of the group of the diverse eukaryotes micro-organisms.

Helminths are classified into 2 phyla: Platyhelminthes and Nemathelminthes (Corliss, 2016).

Trematodes (flukes) and cestodes (tapeworms) belong to phylum Platyhelminthes and nematodes

(roundworms) belong to phylum Nemathelminthes.

Platyhelminthes are soft –bodied organisms such as flatworms and tapeworms (Corliss, 2016).

They exhibit the following characteristics: body is dorsoventrally flattened, bilateral symmetry,

soft and unsegmented bodies among others.

 BIOLOGY TEST 3

Nematoda are found in soil and water and they are parasites. Also, they belong to the large

group of phylum. (Corliss, 2016). They have slender, unsegmented, cylindrical bodies. Example

is roundworms.

Name of disease caused by:

Giardia lambia Giardiasis

Plasmodium falciparum mild febrile illness

Toxo plasma Gondi Toxoplasmosis

Trypanosome bruceli African Trypanosomiasis

Trichomonas vaginalis Trichomoniasis

Dysbiosis is a word used for a microbial imbalance or maladaptation on or inside the body.

For instance, an impaired microbiota. For example, a part of the human microbiota, such as the

skin flora and vaginal flora, can become deranged. Symbiosis is an interaction of different type

of organisms (Corliss, 2016). This type of interaction is mutual.

Define:

Mutualism It is a beneficial interaction between

organisms of different species.

commenslation. Is an interaction n which only one organism

benefits while the other one remain unharmed

Parasitism Relationship involving one organism living

and harming the other one.

 BIOLOGY TEST 4

Neutralism interactions between biological species where

these interactions are categorized by their

effects on each other.

Gramicidin heterogeneous mixture of three antibiotic

compounds- gramicidin A, B and C

Annelids Are type of worm that have a ring shape and

unsegmented bodies

Cyanobacteria These is the phylum of bacteria that obtains

energy through photosynthesis

Bacteriophage This is type of virus that affect bacteria

Diatom Single-cell type of alga that have silica wall

Eskape pathogens:

a) Enterococcus faecium.

b) Staphylococcus aureus.

c) Klebsiella pneumoniae.

d) Acinetobacter baumannii.

e) Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

f) Enterobacter spp

Virus can be classified through their phenotypic characteristics: morphology, nucleic acid type,

mode of replication, host organisms, and the type of disease they cause (Corliss, 2016).
