Microbiology - ANSWERThe study of microorganisms
Bacteria - ANSWERsingle-celled organisms that lack a nucleus; prokaryotes
Archaea - ANSWEROne of two prokaryotic domains, the other being Bacteria.
The extremists: Live in unlivable conditions
Fungi - ANSWERA eukaryotic organism that has cell walls, uses spores to
reproduce, and is a heterotroph that feeds by absorbing its food.
Protozoa - ANSWEREukaryotic, unicellular, ingest food from surroundings, can
go into cyst state
Algae - ANSWEREukaryotic, Autotrophs (Self feeders through photosynthesis)
Helminthe - ANSWERworms, Eukaryotic, multicellular

Saprophytic - ANSWERFungi that get their energy from decaying organic
matter
, Prokaryote - ANSWERno nucleus or membrane bound organelles
Eukaryote - ANSWERA cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound
organelles
Why study microbiology? - ANSWERmicrobes have profound impact on our
lives and health
What are the 7 classes of microbes? - ANSWERBacteria, Archaea,Fungi,
Protozoa, Algae, Helminthe, and Virus
How are the 7 classes of Microbes similar? - ANSWER-All are ubiquitous
-Are either unicellular, multicellular, or cell clusters
-Have means of transport
What is life? - ANSWERcomposed of cells, metabolism, growth and
reproduction
