Blog #5 Prokaryotes and Microorganisms

 I good type of prokaryote (which is bacteria) would be yeast. Yeast is a good fungi. It's not harmful at all. It is used for baking, and for making alcoholic beverages. The way it helps humans is that it provides food for us. So most likely it isn't harmful at all since they use it in food daily and in beverages too.

 Now a harmful bacteria would be Streptococcus. It can cause infections like strep throat. Sometimes even a serious diseases like pneumonia. At times Streptococcus and be fatal.

Blog #6 The Hot Zone Poem

The horrible pain the man had to go through, no words to describe
    He never knew what was coming next
    Every moment he spent on that plane, he was dying rapidly
    He didn't even know what to think, there was no time to think
    Only he would know something was wrong with him, but he stood calm
    The only thing he could think of was if he was going to die
    Zombie, would be the word to describe the way he looked
    On the other hand, there was no way that he would be able to survive a fast spreading virus
    No one on the plane would have thought that the virus would get to them, eventually
    Everything he went through.......there is no way to describe
