Viruses
• Viruses do not respire,
move, grow or feed
outside a living cell and
so show very limited
characteristics as living
things. However they
reproduce very rapidly
inside human body
cells taking over the
function of the nucleus
and forcing the cell to
make more viruses and
thereby spreading the
infection.
Bacteria
• Bacteria are cell-based
organisms that are very
much larger than viruses.
They do respire, move,
grow, feed and reproduce.
In dry conditions, they can
survive by producing hard
coats and becoming
inactive as spores. Spores
are easily spread in the air.
Fungi
• Fungi are cell-based
organisms similar to
bacteria. They like
the moist skin areas
of the body.
