    Germs are microbes like bacteria and viruses that can live in our bodies. Bacteria come in round or rod shapes and some produce toxic waste or attack cells, causing harm. Viruses are even smaller and can only exist inside living cells by injecting their DNA and hijacking the cell to produce more viruses until the cell bursts. There are different types of bacteria and viruses that can cause illnesses like sore throats or typhoid.

    GERMS AND HEALTH


    Germs are MICROBES that can live inside our bodies. The two main types of germ are BACTERIA
    and VIRUSES. Only some types of bacteria are germs. The cause us harm by attacking our cells or by
    producing waste poisonous chemicals. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and they can only exist
    inside living cells. A virus injects its DNA( instructions) into a cell. The virus DNA tells the cell to
    make more viruses. The cell the bursts open to release the new viruses. Bacterium then some have a
    slimy coating, simple nucleus, cell wall, cell membrane , cytoplasm and some have hairs for movement.
    then bacteria have two types, namely first COCCI (round) bacteria. basically these bacteria can cause
    a sore throat, and the second is BACILLI (rod ) bacteria. basically this bacteria can cause typhoid.
    Typical viruses also have outer coat, DNA( instructions) is injected into the cell it is attacking, feet
    attach to a cell.
