Symbiotic Relationship
Symbiotic Relationship
A type of relationship where both organisms benefit. For example, nitrogen-fixing bacteria in plants convert atmospheric nitrogen into usable forms for the plant, while the plant provides the bacteria with nutrients and a place to live.
Cholera
Cholera
A bacterial disease spread through contaminated food or water, causing severe diarrhea and dehydration.
Malaria
Malaria
A protist disease transmitted by mosquitoes, it causes fever, chills, and anemia.

Study Notes
Symbiotic Bacterial Relationships
- Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in plants form a symbiotic relationship, converting atmospheric nitrogen into usable forms for the plant.
- E. coli in the human intestine have a symbiotic relationship, aiding in digestion and producing essential vitamins.
Disease Management Overview
- This section outlines the management of one disease from each of four groups: viruses, bacteria, protists, and fungi.
Viruses (Example: Rabies)
- Rabies is a viral disease transmitted through the saliva of infected animals.
- Symptoms include neurological issues and aggression.
- Prevention involves vaccination of animals.
Bacteria (Example: Cholera)
- Cholera is a bacterial disease caused by ingesting contaminated food or water.
- Symptoms include severe diarrhea and dehydration.
- Management includes oral rehydration therapy and antibiotics.
Protists (Example: Malaria)
- Malaria is a protist disease transmitted by mosquitoes.
- Symptoms include fever, chills, and anemia.
- Management involves antimalarial drugs and mosquito control.
Fungi (Example: Athlete's Foot)
- Athlete's foot is a fungal infection of the skin.
- Symptoms involve itching, redness, and scaling of skin.
- Management involves antifungal medications and proper hygiene.
