    • What are the key characteristics of viruses?
      Non-cellular, require host cell
    • Fungi are eukaryotic organisms with chitin cell walls.

    • How do protozoa move?
      Cilia, flagella, pseudopodia
    • What are examples of fungal diseases?
      Athlete's foot, thrush
    • Protozoa are single-celled eukaryotes that can cause diseases.
