  • Card 7 / 11:
    Your friend believes that prokaryotes are always detrimental and pathogenic. How would you explain to them that they are wrong?

    Remind them of the important roles prokaryotes play in decomposition and freeing up nutrients in biogeochemical cycles; remind them of the many prokaryotes that are not human pathogens and that fill very specialized niches. Furthermore, our normal bacterial symbionts are crucial for our digestion and in protecting us from pathogens.
