Bacteria+-+IR

= Introduction = toc Bacteria is the cause of diseases, they wander around waiting for the time to strike and infect you. There are bacteria crawling all over on your skin. But don’t worry, not all bacteria are dangerous. Most of them are helpful or harmless however the dangerous ones can cause diseases which can lead to fatal or bad injuries. In this article, I will explain what Bacteria is, the effects of bacteria, and what makes up bacteria.  = Bacteria? = Bacteria is a single cell organism. They are said to be the first cells in the world. One bacteria is 1/25,400 of an inch or 0.001 of a millimeter. Bacteria are all crawling over your skin, even inside you. But don’t worry most bacteria are harmless or even helpful. Bacteria can help you get your vitamins and even help digest your food. However, there is the other side of bacteria. The deadly ones that can cause sickness or disease. But that most likely won’t happen. = Dark Side Of Bacteria = Some bacteria are bad. Bacteria can cause diseases like food poisoning. Bacteria crawls over your raw food. This is one reason why you need to cook your food to melt off the bacteria. Food poisoning can happen when food is not cooked and eaten raw. Diseases bacteria cause are usually easy to overcome. However some bacteria have resistances including drug resistance which lessens the effect of medicine. Estimated 30% of bacteria are bad, the other 70% are good. Bacteria are easily countered so don’t worry. =media type="youtube" key="znnp-Ivj2ek" width="508" height="286"= = What Makes Up Bacteria = Bacteria have many parts that make bacteria up to enhance their lives. One example is the flagellum. The flagellum helps the bacteria move around by wiggling around. This process is called twitching but bacteria usually gets moved by wind and water. Another part of bacteria is called the pili and fimbriae. The pili and fimbriae help the bacteria stick to objects enhancing their movement speed. Furthermore, there is the capsule. That protects bacteria from harm. The nucleoid is another part of the bacteria. It is the center part and the controller. The cell wall and ribosome are also other parts of bacteria. The cell wall is what keeps the shape of the bacteria and the ribosome makes protein for the bacteria. These are some of the parts of bacteria. media type="youtube" key="a-apdGwBPz4" width="513" height="279" = Conclusion = This article can just explain the deadliness of bacteria but there is another side of bacteria. A whopping 70% of bacteria is estimated to be helpful. Bacteria can help digest food, give you the vitamins in your body, and defend your body from colds and diseases. Bacteria are like sharks. They won't bother you unless you bother them. Sharks kill around one person every years. Bacteria may kill more but they support more than kill.
