Are both prokaryotes and eukaryotes able to cause disease?
A. Yes they are, but most do not. The prokaryotes are bacteria – some are soil dwellers, some are water dwellers, and some inhabit plants and animals. Some species of bacteria are capable of causing disease, but most do not. The eukaryotes include plants, animals, green algae, fungi and protozoa. Some of the unicellular eukaryotes, such as fungi and protozoa, are also capable of causing disease, but most do not.
