1.0 MICROORGANISMS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON LIVINGTHINGS SCIENCE 1511

1.1 THE CLASSIFICATION OF MICROORGANISM : 

1.1 THE CLASSIFICATION OF MICROORGANISM SCIENCE 1511

What Is Microorganism: 

Tiny living things that only can be seen using microscope Classified based on their characteristics (appearance, shape, size, method of reproduction, nutrition and habitat) Classified into 5 groups: What Is Microorganism

Viruses : 

The smallest microorganisms Consist of nucleic acid (deoxyribonucleic acid/DNA) The shape can be helical or polyhedral Not a living cell and must use living cells to reproduce. E.g. HIV, Influenza virus etc. Parasites-obtain food from animals, plants and some bacteria Reproduce by duplicating Viruses

The reproductive cycle of viruses: 

The reproductive cycle of viruses

Bacteria : 

Unicellular organisms Have cell wall Form spores under unfavourable condition Bacteria

Slide 9: 

Common shapes- spherical, rod-shaped, spiral and comma-shaped Common shapes- spherical, rod-shaped, spiral and comma-shaped Some can carry photosynthesis while some are parasites and saprothrops Reproduce asexually by binary fission or budding

Protozoa: 

Unicellular organism Have plasma membrane , nucleus and vacuole Can carry out living processes. E.g. Amoeba sp. and Paramecium sp. Paramecium sp. moves using cilium (cilia - pl) and Amoeba sp. moves using pseudopodium (pseudopodia-pl) Protozoa

PROTOZOA: 

PROTOZOA

Slide 12: 

Reproduce asexually through binary fission

Algae: 

Can be unicellular or multi cellular Autotrophs - have chlorophyll and chloroplast Can undergoes photosynthesis process. E.g. Spirogyra sp., Euglena and diatom Algae Reproduce asexually through binary fissionor sexually through conjugation

Fungi: 

Heterotrophic microorganisms-parasites or saprophytes Feeds by secreting enzymes that break down the surrounding organic material into simple molecule before absorb them. E.g. Mucor sp., yeast and mould Fungi Reproduce through budding or spores

TEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING: 

Why are viruses considered as parasites? Name the bacteria based on their shapes. How do Amoeba and Paramecium move? What makes algae similar to plants? How do fungi reproduce? TEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING NEXT : 1.2 FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE GROWTH OF MICROORGANSMS
