Answer:
hola mate hope my answer find u in the pink of ur health--
Explanation:
Bacteria, protozoan and vurus all have their very different bio-chemical life processes ok. Their pathways are all different.
Some biological features of fungi are -
(i)They are heterotrophic.
(ii) They leave spores and disperse themselves.
(iii) They are generally grown into a tubular woven tube called hyphae which blows off and firms a mycelium ok.
Fungi, bacteria and protozoan can be identified by thier different characters.

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.
Bacteria are ten to 100 times larger than viruses. They are typically 1 to 3 microns in length and take the shape of a sphere or rod. Most bacteria consist of a ring of DNA surrounded by cellular machinery, all contained within a fatty membrane.
They acquire energy from the same essential sources as humans, including sugars, proteins, and fats. Some bacteria live and multiply in the environment while others are adapted to life within human or animal hosts. Some bacteria can double in number every fifteen minutes, while others take weeks or months to multiply.
Fungi are diverse in terms of their shape, size and means of infecting humans. Fungi are eukaryotes, meaning that like parasites, their cells have a true nucleus and complex internal structures.
They are most commonly found as environmentally resistant spores and molds, but can cause disease in humans in the form of yeasts. Fungi most often cause skin infections and pneumonia. Fungal diseases are particularly dangerous to immunocompromised people, such as those suffering from AIDS.
