includes the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and vesicles.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Describe similarities between protozoa and fungi. - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔Both can be harmful or harmless depending on the

ANSWERS ✔✔Algae produce chemical energy from the sun's light
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
energy.

What describes the relationship of pathogens to virulence? -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Highly virulent pathogens almost always
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
lead to a disease state when introduced to the body.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What is the key difference between a primary pathogen and an
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
opportunistic pathogen? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Primary |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
pathogens can infect anyone, whereas opportunistic pathogens
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
can cause disease if the host is immunocompromised.
