What do bacteria, protists, fungi, and viruses have in common?!?
-
Doing a compare contrast assignment, and I'm having trouble narrowing down what all these have in common with each other besides that they're microorganisms.

Answer:
Well, they are not ALL microscopic, you do not need a microscope to see all fungi, just some yeast forms. They are not ALL unicellular, most fungi are multicellular, and viruses don't even have a cell! Because you are having to make this comparison with viruses, you can't even say that being "alive" is one of the characteristics that they share. I would say the single unifying feature among all things listed is that they use DNA or RNA to transmit genetic information...
