Cohen - All Rights Reserved This paper defines a major computer security problem called a virus. The virus is interesting because of its ability to attach itself to other programs and cause them to become viruses as well. There are two spellings for the plural of virus; 'virusses', and 'viruses'. We use the one found in Webster's 3rd International Unabridged Dictionary Given the wide spread use of sharing in current computer systems, the threat of a virus carrying a Trojan horse [Anderson72] [Linde75] is

are living organisms (such as bacteria, fungi, viruses) which are too small to even be seen with the naked eye but visible under a microscope also named microbe. There are five types of living micro organisms these are bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and algae. Microorganisms are widespread in nature and are beneficial to life, but some can cause serious harm. They can be divided into six major types: bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, algae, and viruses. Bacteria are unicellular organisms. The

Antibiotics Resistance Pathogens are organisms, such as a virus, fungus, or bacteria that cause a disease in another organism. Diseases range from the common cold to food poisoning to meningitis. They spread in various ways such as coming into contact with bodily fluids, being in contact with an infected, or ingestion. Bacteria are microorganisms too small to see that exist in any environment in the world. Viruses are microorganisms that can only reproduce through a host cell. After contacting

major micro-organisms. Major micro-organisms include bacteria, viruses and fungi. Bacteria are uni-cellular microorganisms and are categorised as prokaryotes, which means they have no nucleus present in their cell. The 4 common shapes and characteristics of bacteria are Cocci, Bacilli, Spirilla and Vibrio. Cocci are spherical shaped, bacilli are rod shaped, Spirilla are spiral shaped and vibrio is comma shaped. The main structure features of bacteria include a capsule, cell wall, cytoplasm, naked circular

The two rooms that I feel has the most bacteria is the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen is the catch all place in my home. We have an island that our cell phones, purses and keys are placed on it along with mail.

Classification of viruses Student name Course Institution Instructor Date due Classification of Viruses Most things living things in our world are classified into five different categories. Scientist, biologist and academics do this so they know the exact organism that is being examined and discussed. The five kingdoms of life are identified as: plant, fungi, animal, moneran and fungus. Although, in my research

Is it possible for Bacteriophages to effectively kill Escherichia Coli? Imagine having a severe bout of dysentery or a gangrenous foot that doctors are considering amputating. A person would choose anything at this point in order to rid themselves of their burdens. Bacteriophages are a relatively unknown solution to these problems and others. The object of the experiment (if phages can effectively kill E. Coli) is to figure out the correct dosage of bacteriophages that could be used

Karam Eeso Mrs.Derousie Chemistry P.5 11/1/2015 The Study of How Microorganisms Grow on different Surfaces Research When people think of microorganisms, they think of dangerous viruses that kill people. But most microorganisms are harmless, some even help humans. Some bacteria produce antibiotics, some live in animal guts, they convert nitrogen into better form, and some break down organic matter.(Brian Speer, 1994). Studying how microorganisms grow on different organic surfaces helps people stay
