PPT-BACTERIA Microscopic organisms - known as ‘germs’ and ‘microbes’

Simplest prokaryotic unicellular organisms Show the characteristics of both plants and animals Antoni von leeuwenhoek 16321723 was the first to discover bacteria French scientist . and where to find them. What are Microbes?. - What is the smallest living thing you can think of?. What are Microbes?. What are Microbes?. Microbes are tiny living life forms.. They are so small we can only see them using microscopes.. A. Introduction – There are multiple criteria by which you can classify an organism. 1. Metabolic Activities (Carbon, Energy & Oxygen sources). A) Recall that microbes may vary in their carbon & energy sources. ORGANISMS. Pathogenic organisms can be macroscopic or microscopic. Macroscopic organisms: can be seen with the unaided eye. Microorganisms: cannot be seen with the naked eye. Pathogens: any organism that causes a disease. Kingdoms. Scientists classify living organisms into 6 main groups called Kingdoms. These include:. Animals. Plants. Fungi. Protists. Bacteria. Archaea. Microbes. Germ = microbe that causes disease.. Microbes cause most infectious diseases.. A. Introduction – There are multiple criteria by which you can classify an organism. 1. Metabolic Activities (Carbon, Energy & Oxygen sources). A) Recall that microbes may vary in their carbon & energy sources. CLS 212. What is microbiology?. . the branch of biology that studies microorganisms and their effects on humans . Microorganisms. . . a collection of organisms that share the characteristic of being visible only with a microscope. Taking a trip with microbes and plankton. Yes, microbes are small. But they are definitely not all the same.. Microbe is a term that refers to microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, algae, and even really small animals!. Ecological Importance of Microbes . (Applied and Environmental Microbiology . Chapter 25). The majority of microorganisms are beneficial or harmless.. Without bacteria life as we know it would not exist!!. It happens every year sometimes two or three times It happens to almost everyone in every city state town and country around the world When was the last time it happened to you What Oh  . Besides macroscopic plants and animals, microbes are the major components of biological systems on this earth. Microbes are present everywhere – in soil, water, air, inside our bodies and that of other animals and plants. Microbes like bacteria and many fungi can be grown on nutritive media to form colonies, that can be seen with the naked eyes. Such cultures are useful in studies on micro-organisms. Some of the most important contributions of microbes to human welfare are as follows. . The kind and number of airborne microbes vary tremendously in different environments and dependent upon the activity in the environment and upon the amount of dust stirred up. The most significant environmental factors influencing viability of microbes are temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity. Other factors influencing their survival are oxygen, air ions, solar irradiance and open air factors. Among the microbes present in the atmosphere, bacteria are highest in number. In Outdoor air. . Unit Standards. 5.L.4B.1 . Analyze and Interpret data to explain how organisms obtain their energy and classify organisms as producers, consumers (including herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore), or decomposers (such as Fungi, Bacteria insects and molds).. Key Stage 3. Learning Outcomes. All students will: . Understand there are three different types of microbe. . Understand that microbes are found everywhere. . Understand that useful bacteria are found in our body. . Key Stage 4. Learning Outcomes. All students will: . • Understand that some microbes can keep us healthy. . • Understand that some microbes can be useful. . • Understand that we need bacterial colonisation to live a healthy life. .
