1- What are germs, and where are they found?

Germs are microorganisms. This means that they can be seen only through a
microscope. They can be found everywhere - in the air, soil, and water. There
are also germs on your skin and in your body.
2 How do germs spread from person to person?
Germs can spread from one person to another through direct contact when
people shake hands, hug, or kiss. Germs can also spread through indirect
contact if people touch something with germs already on it, like a doorknob, and
then touch their eyes, nose, or mouth.
3 What are the different types of germs (e.g, bacterias,viruses,fungi &
protozoa) and how do they differ?.
In contrast to viruses and bacteria, fungal cells therefore not only have a
nucleus, they also contain other cell elements, such as the so-called vacuoles,
in which nutrients, among other things, can be stored, and protozoa are
unicellular or relatively simple multicellular organisms.
4 What role do germs play causing diseases?
Bacterias,viruses, fungus and parasites that cause disease are pathogens. The
microorganism uses the body of the host to sustain, reproduce, and colonize
itself causing different types of diseases to the host.
