OBJECTIVES
 Describe the structure and reproduction of viruses.
 Explain how viruses cause disease.
 Describe three physical features that are used to classify
prokaryotes.
 Explain how prokaryotes reproduce and their modes of
nutrition.
 Recognize that some prokaryotes aid humans by acting
as decomposers and others cause disease that can be
treated with antibiotics.
 Summarize the Plasmodium life cycle and explain how it
involves two hosts, mosquito and human, to transmit
malaria.
 Describe the basic structure of fungi.
 Explain the function of spores in fungal reproduction.
 Decribe two examples of symbiotic fungi, lichen and
mycorrhizae.
 Describe some human uses of fungi.
 Identify some fungal diseases of plants and of humans.
 Explain the role of fungi in recycling organic matter.
