I have two mini essay questions that need to be written onto a word document. Both questions can be found on the word doc. These are not full-on essays. They are “mini” essays which means that each essay response should be roughly 2 paragraphs-ish each. Use the quizlet link in the doc for ideas because these essays have already been done before so you may use those ideas. I am attaching a rubric as well so you can follow that.

Essay Questions

1. Discuss several ways in which bacteria are medically and ecologically important.

2. Define mycosis and describe the levels of invasion of the body by fungi. Explain what factors could cause opportunistic mycoses to be a growing medical problem.

*Write up mini essays for both of these questions and use the quizlet link below that corresponds to the questions for ideas
