Types of Microorganisms

-Bacteria
-Archaea
-Fungi
-Protozoa
-Algae
-Viruses
-Multicellular animal parasites

Bacteria

- Prokaryotes
- Peptidoglycan cell walls
- Binary fission - Reproduce
- For enegy, use organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, or photosynthesis.

Archaea

- Prokaryotic
- Lack peptidoglycan
- Live in extreme environments
*Include:
--Methanogens
--Extreme halophiles
--Extreme thermophiles

Fungi

- Eukayotes
- Chitin cell walls
- Use organic chemicals for energy
- Molds & mushrooms are multicellular, consisting of masses of mycelia, which are composed of filaments called hyphae.
- Yeasts are unicellular

Protoza

- 1 cell
- Eukaryotes
- Absorb or ingest organic chemicals
- May be motile via pseudopods, cilia, or flagella
- Classified by movement

Algae

- Eukaryotes
-Cellulose cell walls
- Use photosynthesis for energy
- Produce molecular oxygen & organic compounds

Viruses

-Acellular
-Consist of DNA or RNA core
-Core is surrounded by a protein coat
-Coat may be enclosed in a lipid envelope
-Are replicated only when they are in a living host cell.

Multicellular Animal Parasites

- Eukaryotes
- Multicellular animals
- Parasitic flatworms & roundworms are called helminths (italized)
- Microscopic stages in life cycles
