**Deadly Debate** Viruses are more deadly than bacteria for many reasons, but here are a few examples. First off, both bacteria and viruses can cause sicknesses, but viruses cause more deadly ones. Some viruses even cause cancer. Second, both have treatments, but viruses hardly have any for a couple of reasons. Thirdly, viruses have much more ways than bacteria to come in contact with us. Viruses and bacteria both cause bad illnesses, but viruses cause worse ones. Bacteria cause some like strep throat, tuberculosis, and lyme disease. Theses are bad ,but viruses cause some like HIV, leukemia, yellow fever, and others that are much worse. HIV destroys white blood cells and can infect other type of cells. Most people that are infected with yellow fever die in a few days.

Most bacteria have cures because of vaccines and antibacterials. Most viruses don't have a cure other than time and a few antivirals

because viruses are much smaller than bacteria and they can mutate to get away from us. Bacteria are bigger and they don't mutate.

Bacteria are 1-5 microns and viruses are .2-.25 microns. It is hard to catch bacteria and viruses already, but with viruses able to mutate,

we have to keep on changing our cures a lot.

Viruses have much more ways than bacteria for us to come in contact with them. You can touch bacteria, but you can contact viruses

from touching a contaminated object, from another person to you, by touching an animal, and eating or drinking them. As you can see,

there are a lot of ways to come in contact with viruses. You probably can touch an animal and get a bacteria on you, but viruses are

more common.

Some people think bacteria are more deadly than viruses or are just the same amount. Bacteria are 1-5 microns, a little

larger than viruses, and are more common. They can be cured by antibacterials and vaccines. We can come in contact with

them by fermentation, contact, and probably many more ways like touching a wild animal and eating or drinking them.

These are three reasons (out of many) that viruses are more deadly than bacteria. They are that viruses cause more deadly diseases,

**Deadly Debate** **Which Is More Deadly,** **Bacteria or Viruses?**

Viruses are more deadly than bacteria for many reasons, but here are a few examples. First off, both bacteria and viruses can cause sickness, but viruses cause more deadly ones. Some viruses can even cause cancer. Second, both have

treatments, but viruses hardly have any for a couple of reasons. Thirdly, viruses have much more ways than bacteria to

come in contact with us. Finally, viruses can also infect animals including the pets that live in your house and can infect you. Viruses and bacteria both cause bad illnesses, but viruses cause worse ones. Bacteria cause some like strep throat,

tuberculosis, and lyme disease. These are bad but viruses cause some like HIV, leukemia, yellow fever, and others that

could be worse. HIV destroys white blood cells and can infect other types of cells. Most people with yellow fever die within a

few days. Most bacteria have cures because of vaccines and antibacterials. Most viruses don't have a cure other than time and a few

antivirals because viruses are much smaller than bacteria and they can mutate to get away from us. Bacteria are bigger and they don't mutate so they are much easier to catch and make cures. Bacteria are 1-5 microns (pretty small) and viruses are .2-.25 microns (very small). It is hard to catch bacteria and viruses already, but with viruses able to mutate, we have to keep on changing our cures a lot. Viruses have much more ways than bacteria for us to come in contact with them. You can touch bacteria, but you can

contact viruses from touching a contaminated object, from another person to you, by touching an animal, and eating or drinking. As you can see, there are a lot of ways to come in contact with viruses. Of course you can find more, but these are just a few. You probably can touch an animal and get a bacteria on you, but viruses are more common. Finally, viruses can infect animals on farms, in the wild, and even household pets that would eventually infect

you. Some diseases that can be found in animals are newcastle disease which can be found in birds and can spread to humans, the swine flu from pigs, rabies, and many many more that can be very bad if you come in contact with them. Some people think bacteria are more deadly than viruses or are just the same amount. Bacteria are 1-5 microns, a little

larger than viruses, and are more common. They can be rod-shaped, spiral-shaped, and spherical. They can be cured by

antibacterials and vaccines. We can come in contact with them by fermentation, contact, and probably many more ways

like touching a wild animal and eating or drinking them.

These are some reasons (out of many) that say viruses are more deadly than bacteria. They are that viruses cause more

deadly diseases, viruses are harder to cure, viruses have more ways of coming in contact with you, and viruses can also

infect animals. Thank you for reading this article. Some Virus Shapes A bacteria that has been magnetised 2000 times A picture of the virus influenza (flu) //**__Voki__**// media type="custom" key="13528804" **__Comparison Table__**

 * //__ Reflection __//**

**-__Explain how you tell if resources for your project are reliable. (Websites, books, newspapers, magazines, etc.)(Reliability can be determined by currency, credibility, authority, etc. depending on the curriculum topic)__** Resources for my project are reliable because I used [|www.ncwiseowl.org] which has up too date selections and true facts about many things. I also used [|www.voki.com] which allows me to make a voki for free and to use that voki for anything. Another website I used was www.wikispaces.com which allows people to make a profile for free, lets people post things on their wiki, and keep up with friends. **-__How were the websites and information relevant for your project?__** The websites and information were relevant for my project because I had to find out details about bacteria and viruses to make a conclusion of which one was deadlier ([|www.ncwiseowl.org]), I had to have a place to put my information (www.wikispaces.com), and I had to have a voki to speak what I think ([|www.voki.com]). **-__How do you evaluate resources for point of view, bias, values, or intent of information?__** I tried to use websites with little or no bias at all and to use websites that end with “.org” or “.edu” such as “ncwiseowl”. I also used sites that my classmates or teacher recommended. __-**How did you work on the project with other students? How were they involved with your project?**__ I worked with other students by helping them with something they didn't know how to do and suggesting sites for them to visit. They were involved with my project when they helped me with something I didn't know how to do. **-__How did you work on the project independently?__** I worked on the project independently when I was finding and writing down information. I was also working by myself when I was creating my voki and finding my pictures. -__**Explain ethical behavior (copyright, not plagiarizing, netiquette) when using resources. How did you use resources and use them correctly, do that you didn't violate any copyright laws?**__ I used my resources correctly because if I read an article, I would take the information I needed and put it in my own words. I also stated my resources to give credit to the people who found out the information and so people reading my article will know where I got it. -__**How do you use safety precautions when using online resources (personal information, passwords, etc.) What precautions did you take to protect you and your work when using the computers and online resources?**__ Each one of our computers has a password to get into each account and each wiki profile has a different username and password. I also went into sites that didn't require an account (except for wikispaces.com) to look for information. -__**What technology did you use to complete this project? (computer, websites, wiki, etc.)**__ I used a netbook, my science textbook, www.wikispaces.com, [|www.ncwiseowl.org], [|www.google.com], OpenOffice.org Writer, and [|www.voki.com] to complete this project.
