Prions A prion is a type of protein that can infect both people and animals by causing the brain's typically healthy proteins to fold improperly. Since prion are only proteins without any genetic material, their manner of action is very different from those of bacteria and viruses.

A prion is a type of protein that can infect both people and animals by causing the brain's typically healthy proteins to fold improperly.

Since prion are only proteins without any genetic material, their manner of action is very different from those of bacteria and viruses. Correctly folded proteins are changed into the disease-associated form once a misfolded prion enters a healthy person, possibly through the consumption of infected food. Nobody is exactly sure how this occurs as of yet.

Answer:

Biodiversity is a variation of organisms (plants, animals and bacteria) in the world or a specific habitat. Biodiversity helps to keep an ecosystem healthy because there is more variation of food and different organisms can rely on each other for survival. Also it offers a larger more reliable food chain and if one species is suddenly wiped out, it won't impact the ecosystem as much as it would if the biodiversity was smaller.
