Fungi, Protists & Viruses, WHA-ZOO
Fungi, protists, and viruses may not be the most cuddly of organisms, but they’re no less worth studying for it. Fungi, whose ranks include yeasts, rusts, molds, and mushrooms, are among the most widely distributed organisms on Earth. Protists such as algae and protozoans are microscopic eukaryotic organisms. Viruses are infectious agents of small size and simple composition that can multiply only in living cells of animals, plants, or bacteria.
