Definition
are organisms whose cells are eukaryotic.
Term
Cause disease to humans
Definition
Relatively few microbes compared to the amount of microbes out there (%)'s
Term
Fungi pg3
Definition
Different from plants because they obtain their food from other organisms(rather than making it for themselves) 
Term
