Term
types of microbes
Definition
bacteria
archaea
fungi
protozoa
algae
viruses
multicellular animal parasites
Term
bacteria
Definition
prokaryotes-nucleoid
single celled
peptidoglycan cell walls
divide by binary fusion
derive nutrition from organic or inorganic chemicals or photosynthsis
Term
archaea
Definition
prokaryotes
lack peptidoglycan cell walls
often live in extreme environments
Term
fungi
Definition
eukaryotes-distinct nucleus
chitin cell walls
absorb organic chemical for energy
yeasts are unicellular
molds and mushrooms are multicell
molds consist of masses of mycelia which are composed of filaments called hyphae.
Term
protozoa
Definition
eukaryotes-distinct nucleus
absorb or injest organic chemicals
may be motile via pseudopods, cilia or flagella
free living or parasitic (have host)
Term
algae
Definition
eukaryotes
CELLULOSE WALLS
found in freshwater, saltwater, and soil
produce O and carbohydrates
Term
viruses
Definition
acellular
consist of DAN or RNA core
coat may be enclosed in a lipid envelope
are replicated only when they are in a living host cell
inert outside living host (not living)
Term
multicellular animal parasites
Definition
eukaryotes
multicellular animals
not strictly microorganisms
parasitic flatworms and roundworms are called helminths
they have some microscopic stages in their life cycles.
