Bacteria : Bacteria are there all around us, but they are not plants nor animals. There are a few species of bacteria that are pathogenic and can cause very serious disease, but there are also many that are beneficial to human beings. There are bacteria that can provide nutrients, and the study of bacteria is known as bacteriology. Lactobacilli bacteria is one of the beneficial bacteria's due to the function of how it can aid in developing natural defenses to protect the body from dangerous diseases.
Virus : Virus is a infectious part that can replicate inside living human beings or any living organisms. Virus' can come from many animals, or from humans too. A virus can spread with blood contact, like blood-sucking insects can pass around a virus. Virus's are capable of infecting many different species all around the world.
Prion : A prion is a infectious thing that is composed of protein, it's name was derived from the words protein and infection. When a prion enters a healthy body, it immediately changes it into a sick and infectious being.
Protists : Protists have the meaning of that they are multiple cells that contain a nucleus within a membrane. Protists come from the Kingdom called Protista. Protists don't really have much in common other than their simple organization. The organization allows the protist to be known from different eukaryotes like animals or plants.

Cell diversity Wordle
Every different cell has their own functions which causes them to have different structures. There are big cells that are like tissues, and also way smaller cells like organelles. The different variety of cells go on and on, but it is something that keeps everything on Earth alive. There are many cells that live in our body too, and some are quite obvious like blood cells, or brain cells. Animal's don't have a cell wall, but plants have one. The chloroplast in a plant cell allows the plants to take in energy from sunlight.

Cellular Metabolism Wordle
Cellular Metabolism shows all the thousands of chemical reactions within cell. There are many metabolic pathways that can release energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler compounds. Metabolism occurs in a flow of biochemical reactions that are known as pathways. Metabolism is connected with controlling the material and the energy resources from the cell. Metabolism is a property that begins through interactions with molecules in the environment of the cell.

LACTOBACILLI : This bacteria is one of the important beneficial bacteria that can be found mainly in the small intestines. This bacteria is also found in the vagina, and they are a mojor part of the lactic acid bacteria group. Lactic acid allows the environment in the vagina acidic protecting harmful bacteria from growing and multiplying.

VIRIDANS STREPTOCOCCUS : This bacteria is beneficial because of it's ability to protect the body from harmful bacteria that try to get into the mouth and throat. It has access to the heart & bloodstream, and is also known to stay in the body for life because it's the main microbial flora for the throat/mouth.
