| VIRUSES | MICROSCOPIC, INTRACELLULAR PARASITES THAT CONSIST OF NUCLEIC ACID CORE WITH PROTEIN COAT. INVADE HOSTS CELLS AND PIRATE ORGANELLES AND RAW PROTEIN. CLASSIFIED BY SHAPE, NUCLEIC ACID TYPE, AND METHOD OF REPRODUCTIION |
| PRIONS | PATHOGENIC PROTEIN (P) MOLECULES CONVERT PROTEINS TO ABNORMAL PROTEINS, CAUSING ABNORMAL FUNCTIONS THAT PRODUCE DISEASE, MAY BE PASSED DOWN TO OFFSPRING |
| WHAT CAN CAUSE RARE DEGENERATIVE DISORDERS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM SUCH AS BOVINE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY AND VARIATN CREUTZFELD JAKOB DISEASE | PRIONS |

| MOLDS | LARGE, MULTICELLULAR |
| MYCOTIC INFECTIONS | OFTEN RESIST TREATMENT |
| PROTOZOA | LARGE ONE CELLED ORGANISMS THAT HAVE ORGANIZED NUCLEI MAY INFEST HUMAN FLUID AND PARASITIZE THEM OR DESTROY CELLS |
| AMEOBAS | POSSES PSUDOPODIA |
| FLAGELLATES | POSSES FLAGELLA |
