bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, algae and helminths major groups of microorganisms included in this study are:
(parasitic worms)


CDC (Center for Disease Control) collects information and statistics on diseases from around the United States and
publishes it in a newsletter.


Public Health microbiology and epidemiology monitor and control the spread of diseases in communities


Organelles appeared in the fossil record as a more complex cell, which had developed the nucleus
and various specialized internal structures:


Prokaryotic smaller that the eukaryotes cells, lack cellular organelles, does not contain a true
nucleus


algae , protozoa , molds, and yeast and certain animals such What eukaryotes are micro-organisms?
as worms and arthropods.


Eukaryotic cells what cells are larger than prokaryotic cells?


prokaryotic cells they lack organelles, which are structures in cells bound by one or more membranes


the mitochondria and Golgi complexes, and several others, what are examples of organelles?
which perform special functions such as transport, feeding,
energy release and use, and synthesis


prokaryotes perform similar functions, but they lack dedicated organelles to carry them out


single cell or clusters of cells the body plan of most microorganisms consist of:


centimeters and meters what dimension of microscopic organisms are usually given in?
