What is the size comparison of viruses to prokaryotic cells?
10 to 100 times smaller
What is a defining characteristic of animals?
They are multicellular heterotrophs
How many species of animals are estimated to exist on Earth?
5 to 10 million species
What does it mean for an organism to be multicellular?
It is made up of many cells
What does the term heterotroph mean?
Organisms that obtain energy from other organisms
How many species of plants are estimated to exist?
Around 300,000 species
What is mycelium in fungi?
A body made of thread-like structures
What do protists primarily consist of?
Mostly unicellular organisms
What is the role of chloroplasts in some protists? 
They allow photosynthesis to occur
What is the significance of the term "protists"?
It refers to a kingdom of organisms
Where can bacteria be found?
Almost everywhere, including on skin
What is the primary nutritional mode of most bacteria?
They feed off other organisms
How do viruses reproduce?
Only inside living cells
What is the structure of a virus?
A protein coat surrounding genetic material
Why are viruses considered parasites?
They depend on other organisms to reproduce
What is a common characteristic of all viruses?
They cause harm to living organisms
Name an example of a virus.
Influenza virus
What is the main takeaway from the video about these organisms?
Understanding the differences between them
How do plants obtain energy?
They photosynthesize to make their own food.
If an organism is multicellular, eukaryotic, and makes its food through photosynthesis, to which kingdom does it belong? 
Plantae
What is the body structure of fungi called?
Mycelium
What are hyphae in fungi?
Thread-like structures that form mycelium.
What do sporangia do in fungi?
Produce and release spores for reproduction.
How do fungi obtain energy?
Through saprotrophic nutrition.
What type of organisms are protozoa?
Unicellular eukaryotic organisms.
What nutritional strategies do protozoa exhibit?
Some are photosynthetic, others are heterotrophs.
What are the three main shapes of bacteria?
Cocci, Bacilli, Spiral
What does the arrangement "Diplo" refer to in bacteria? 
Bacteria arranged in pairs.
If a sample shows rod-shaped bacteria arranged in chains, what is the arrangement called?
Streptobacilli
What distinguishes viruses from living organisms?
They cannot reproduce independently.
What is the basic structure of a virus?
A viral genome surrounded by a nucleocapsid.
How do pathogens differ in terms of cellularity?
Cellular pathogens are living; acellular are non-living.
What type of pathogen is a prion?
Non-living acellular pathogen.
What diseases can cellular pathogens cause?
Examples include athlete's foot and malaria.
