Any mircoogranism that has a capsule and belongs to the class Schizomycetes. They are three shapes;

spherical (round)- the cocci,

Rod shape - the bacilli,

and spiral (e.g. when spiral are flexible)

Genus of bacteria: rod shape: producing spores;

often in chains

Type of bacteria that is spherical or ovoid in form.

When occi appear singly, they are designated  microccci; in pairs. Diplococci; in clusters like bunches of grapes, staphylocci, in chains, streptococci.

A divison of plant-like organism that includes molds and yeasts. They grow in single cells as in yeast as

colonies as in molds and mushrooms. They do not contain chlorophyll and thus are dependent upon a saprophytic (living on dead or decaying matter) or

parsite existence.

Family of microorganisms that occupy a position between bacteria and viri. They are unlike bacteria in that they require living cells for growth:and much

smaller in size than viri.

Minute organism. Like bacteria they are parasites,bust are entirely dependent on cellular nutrients and differ in terms of replication, resistance to antibotics. They contain either a strand of DNA or RNA (but not both) and a

covering of protein. They do not have a cell wall.

Disease condition which develops slowly and

lasts for a prolonged period of time (maybe for life)

1. Abnormality in body function. Lack of homeostasis. A morbid process which threatens the well-being of an organism

2. A diseas is a physical event on the cellular level that produces injury, inflamation and repair.
