Difference between yeast and virus.
Explanation:
- Yeast : Yeast is a type of single cell microorganism, falls under kingdom fungi.Cell kind is Single cell., with Filamentous or Threadlike shape, Pseudo-hyphae i.e. they don't have true hyphae. Non-Sporous fungi. There are 1500 types of yeast. Reproduction Asexual through mitosis. Common method is budding and spores formations. colour of yeast is Colourless and smooth (usually white).Yeast can grow in aerobic as well as in anaerobic conditions. Yeast is used in beverages production like alcohol and also in making of baking, bio remediation, food additive. Yeast may weaken the immune system of the body and may contribute in asthma, crohn's disease. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baking yeast), Cryptococcus neoformans, etc.
- Virus : With the exception of newly discovered prions, viruses are the smallest agents of infectious disease. Most viruses are exceedingly small (about 20 - 200 nanometers in diameter) and essentially round in shape. They consist of little more than a small piece of genetic material surrounded by a thin protein coating. Some viruses are also surrounded by a thin, fatty envelope. Viruses are different from all other infectious microorganisms because they are the only group of microorganisms that cannot replicate outside of a host cell. Because viruses do not eat food - instead they seize materials and energy from host cells by hijacking cellular machinery - some scientists argue that they are more like complex molecules than living creatures. Viruses are known to infect nearly every type of organism on Earth. Some viruses, called bacteriophages, even infect bacteria.
