Micro Organisms: Organisms too small for the human eye to really see.
Prions
Composed entirely of protein
Can fold in many distinct ways, some transmissable to other proteins
Lead to diseases similar to prion infections(an infection that is very fatal and can destroy the brain)
Viruses
Are considered nonliving since they lack the ability to metabolize or reproduce
Structure is a a core of Rna and Dna with a protein coat
Require a host to reproduce so are often found infecting eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
Bacteria
Are single celled organisms generally responsible for breakdown of waste, but can also be infectious
Lack a nucleus (genetic material just hangs around)
Can appear in rod, spheres, and spirals, and can move with flagella
Reproduce through binary fission (cell grows and splits into 2 identical copies)
Archaea
Differ from Bacteria because they lack peptoglycen (stuff that makes up cell wall)
Prokaryotic cells, can withstand extremes in tempurature and conditions
Are generally theorized to be some of the earliest forms of life, found in hydrothermal vents deep in the sea
Fungi
Can be multicellular (mold), or single celled (yeast)
Cell wall is made of Chitin
Can ferment certain foods and produce
Reproduce through spores
Gain nutrients from decomposition
Protazoa/Algae
Can be eu or prokaryotic
Cell wall made of cellulose (similar to cell wall in other organisms)
Classified by movement
Obtain energy from photosynthesis
Protists with plant like traits
Can be classified by movement types
