(155).jpg "Microbiology Quiz: Viruses, Fungi, And Protozoa!")
In the following quiz on the scientific study of microbiology, the practice by which we analyze and record the findings on the many microscopic organisms of the world, we’ll be turning our attention away from the usual main character in this study, biology, and looking more closely at viruses, fungi, and protozoa.
