Document Summary

Symbiosis- interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, most important in eukaryotes is the mitochondria. Parasitism- in order for the bacteria to survive the host must be harmed. Commensalism- by living in the host it can reproduce and grow, but the host goes unharmed. Mutualism- both the host and bacteria are able to benefit. Attaches to the pilla and destructs the host in order to survive. Type: chronic in most but asymptomatic, of people have it, 10% of people develop end stage disease (cholera is worse) Can cause problems with fertility if it goes into the epithelial cells. Protein synthesis, once in the cell it secretes it and turns to a raticular body. Type: chronic, can lead to ulcer or cancer. Characteristics: stays quiet, mechanism of dealing with stomach acidity. Can become parasitic if ulcer or cancer forms. Protects us from skin pathogens and inflammatory responses. First recognition of morphological similarity between mitochondria and bacteria.
