Concept explainers

Terrestrial Ecosystem

An ecosystem is a collection of interconnected communities. It includes both living and non-living elements of specific strata. The terrestrial ecosystem is solely related to the ecosystem present on the land and covers 25 to 30% of the total earth’s surface area.

Question

1. How different types & structures of cells helped us understand the mechanisms on how they work in making the different types of microbes?

2. How does categorizing one microbe to another helped us determine if they are harmful or beneficial to people and environment?

Humans have learned through history how to use the abilities of microbes to their advantage. Considering ways that we use them (not how they naturally have become part of our microflora), describe 3 methods used in the environment, industry, and in our daily lives.
Microbe that causes Disease Environment in which the microbe thrives How to break the environmental chain and control the spread of the disease Salmonella - bacterium that causes salmonellosis Intestines of people and animals- lives in raw eggs poultry,and meat Borrelia burgdorferi-bacterium that causes Lyme disease Lives in deer ticks Group A Streptococcus- bacterium that causes '' strep'' infections Lives in the mucus from the nose or throat of an infected person Giardia- protozoan that causes giardiasis Lives in feces of infected people and animals. Spread by contact with contaminnated water. Rabies virus Lives in the saliva of infected animals.Spread when an infected animal bites another animal or person. Here is table of Disease Causing Microbes . What ways you can think to control the spread the disease ?
