• I am a nonliving particle
• I do not use energy to grow or
respond to my surrounding
• I cannot make food, take in food,
or produce wastes
• I am a parasite, which means I
live in my host and cause it harm.
• My host provides me with energy.
• I come in a variety of shapes and
sizes
• I am very tiny.
• In fact, I am so small you cannot
see me with the microscopes you
use here at school!
• I am made up of two parts.
• An outer part made up of
proteins…
• And an inter part made of genetic
material
• My greatest ability is my ability to
multiply.
• I multiply quickly.
• I multiply by attaching to a cell,
then I enter the cell and begin to
take over the cell’s function.
Here is a picture of me…
•WHAT AM I?
• I AM A…
