1. Flu
2. Chickenpox
3. Common cold
Bacteria:
1. Strep throat
Fungus:
1. Athlete's foot
2. Pink eye
Virus:
- Flu
- Chickenpox
- Common cold
Bacteria:
- Strep throat
Fungus:
- Athlete's foot
It is important to note that Pink eye can be caused by both viruses and bacteria, so it can be classified under both categories.
To match the diseases with the type of pathogen, we need to understand the characteristics of each pathogen. Here is how you can determine the type of pathogen for each disease:
1. Flu: The flu is caused by a virus.
2. Athlete's foot: Athlete's foot is caused by a fungus.
3. Pink eye: Pink eye can be caused by both viruses and bacteria, but the most common cause is a virus.
4. Chickenpox: Chickenpox is caused by a virus.
5. Common cold: The common cold is caused by a virus.
6. Strep throat: Strep throat is caused by bacteria.
So, matching the diseases with the type of pathogen:
- Flu: Virus
- Athlete's foot: Fungus
- Pink eye: Virus
- Chickenpox: Virus
- Common cold: Virus
- Strep throat: Bacteria
