Period 4, Virus Bacteria, Germs, and parasites.

Period 4

Virus, bacteria, Parasites.
We made a venn diagram of virus, bacteria, and parasites. Are parasites germs? A germ is a micro-organism that can cause a disease, and a definiton for virus and bacteria is that they are both types of germs.A germ is a very general term our class found.A parasite is possibly a germ, tecnically a organism along with parasites. A parasite could cause Malaria by mosquitos who take in the parasite, then insert it into the human it bites. But not all parasites are small, like lice and ticks are visible from the naked eye. then a common question comes up are they alive? A virus is not living so it cannot become a organism. A parasite can, so can bacteria. but not germs. You can not use both virus and bacteria, because they are both interchangeable. They are different sizes and Bacteria is living.
