living things ordinarily too small to be seen with the naked eye?: Microbiology
2. Microorganisms that carry out photosynthesis include: Algae and bacteria

11. What are the 6 major types of microorganisms?: Bacteria
Algae
Protozoa
Helminths
Fungi
Viruses
12. What does medical microbiology include?: Microbes that cause diseases in humans and
animals
