Classification Of Microorganisms

Microorganisms are tiny organisms which can be seen with the naked eyes.

Microorganisms are found almost everywhere.

Some bacteria synthesise food through chemosynthesis using chemical energy from oxidising chemicals such as nitrite.

Parasitic obtain food from living organisms.

Dark and damp places include decaying matter and bodies of living organisms.

Some fungi are multicelluter microorganisms such as yeast.

Saprophytic feed on living organisms, for example Plasmodium feeds on cells in the human body.

Viruses do not have cytoplasm, plasma membrane or nucleus.

The viral DNA replicates using material in the host cell.

Algae have chloroplast, nucleus, cytoplasm and cilia.
