Fungi Unlike bacteria and viruses, fungi are simple plant-like organisms which reproduce using spores. There are three types of fungal infections; ones which occur on the surface of the skin and hair; those which occur in the epidermis (such as ringworm and athlete's foot) and those which affect the deeper layers of skin – the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, muscle and fascia. Fungi may reach these layers as a result of penetrating wounds, or may be inhaled. Parasites Parasites differ from bacteria in that they need a living host to survive and reproduce, although not all parasites affect the host. Parasites can be acquired through contact with a contaminated surface, via infected water or food and through contact with contaminated bodily fluids such as blood, faecal matter and sexual contact.
Asparagus has many culinary uses, it is produced in the United States, and is known as a nutrient powerhouse. Asparagus is a widely appreciated vegetable throughout the world. Asparagus, the vegetable, is an edible shoot or spear. At the top of the spear it contains small leaves that look like tightly packed scales. The asparagus comes in three varieties: green, white, and purple.
Fungi :A Fungus is a spore producing organism and can live as a single celled yeast or as a larger multi-cellular mould. It will live by absorbing certain nutrients from any organic matter. Fungi include moulds, mildews, Mushrooms and yeast. The more common illnesses from fungi could be athlete’s foot, ringworm and thrush. Viruses: A virus needs a host cell to replicate.
Viruses are spread from host to host. eg coughing or sneezing. Fungi Most people will recognise fungi from mushrooms and toadstools or possibly baking yeast. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms which mean that all the cells have membranes. Some fungi have beneficial uses.
When a virus enters the body, it enters some certain cells and takes over making the now host cell make the parts the virus needs to reproduce, the cells are eventually destroyed through this process. The most common viruses is the common cold, which has no cure. Fungi Mould, yeast and mushrooms are all types of Fungi. Fungi live in the air, water, soil and on plants and they can live in the body, usually without causing illness. Some fungi have beneficial uses.

Answers to Questions (1-9) 1) They sense with their antennas 2) Yes 3) Yes 4) 2 5) 14 legs 6) Some crawl on top of others, but does not matter in size 7) Gills 8) They molt their exoskeletons. 9) They like dark moist areas. They also like the sweetness of the apples that they were tested on. Hypothesis: Variable #1 If sowbugs prefer a apples vs. carrots then when they are randomly placed on both sides of an apple/carrot chamber and allowed to move about freely for 10 minutes, then most will be found on the side with apples. Variable #2 If sowbugs prefer a dark environment , then when they are randomly placed on both sides of a
There are different types of fungi for example mushrooms are a fungi and some cheeses have fungi in them, however fungi can also cause illnesses such as Candida, this is yeast that causes infection. Fungi are also responsible for skin problems such as, oral thrush, athlete’s foot and ringworm. A Parasite is an organism that lives inside another organism, which is known as the host. The host can be for eg, a human being, animal. The parasite is dependent on its host for survival, it has to be in the host to live, grow and multiply.
The rings of growth in the lawn are caused by the release of nutrients, specifically nitrogen because of the activity of the fungus living on organic matter in the soil. These organisms are mushroom or “puffball” forming fungi. Some mushrooms or puffballs are very poisonous when eaten and it is important that they are routinely destroyed if small children are likely to be attracted to them. There are three kinds of fairy rings. The first type has no mushrooms just stimulated grass growth revealing the activity of these fungi in soil.
The word, Broccoli, is derived from the Italian word ‘brocco’ which means arm or branch. It has various common names depending on the region and culture; it is named brocks, calabrese and it was referred to as ‘Italian asparagus when it first was introduced in England and the United states. Broccoli is in the cabbage family, brassicaceae. The Brassicaceae family contains well-known species such as Brassica oleracea (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, etc), Brassica sativus (common radish), and many others. In the same species broccoli closely resembles cauliflower.
