Question

1. 6. microorganisms that cause disease, enter your body?

a. pathogens
b. parasites
c. communicable disease
d. bacteria

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a (Pathogens): Pathogens are defined as microorganisms (or other agents) that cause disease. This matches the description.
• Option b (Parasites): Parasites are organisms that live on/inside another organism and harm it, but not all parasites are microorganisms or solely defined by causing disease (some are larger organisms).
• Option c (Communicable disease): This is a type of disease, not the microorganism causing it.
• Option d (Bacteria): While some bacteria are pathogens, "bacteria" is a broader group (many bacteria are harmless or beneficial), so it’s not the most accurate term for "microorganisms that cause disease" in general.

Answer:

a. Pathogens
