1. Microbiology study of organisms too small to be seen without magnification
2. Microorganisms bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, helminths (worms), algae
include...
3. Origins of mi- bacteria-like organisms have existed for 3.5 billion years, there are prokaryotes
croorganisms (pre-nucleus, simple cells) and eukaryotes (true nucleus, complex cells)
4. Microbial struc- two cell lines are prokaryotes (microscopic unicellular organisms without nuclei
ture and membrane bound organelles) and eukaryotes (microscopic multicellular with
nucleus and membrane bound organelles). the other is viruses (acellular, parasitic
particles with a nucleic acid and protein)
5. Bacteria
6. Fungi
7. Algae
8. Virus
