The variety of organisms found in an area or on Earth.

Organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye.

An organism consisting of only one cell.

An organism made up of many cells.

A scientist who classifies organisms into specific groups.

Five groups used for classifying all living organisms.

Microscopic agents that display both living and non-living characteristics.

A protein coat surrounding the nucleic material of a virus.

Irregular loop of DNA in prokaryotes, lacking a membrane.

Cells that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, such as bacteria.

Small, circular, double-stranded DNA found in bacterial cytoplasm.

Whip-like structure that enables bacterial movement in liquid.

Bacteria that produce their own food using sunlight or chemicals.

Bacteria that cannot make their own food and depend on other sources.

Simple cell division process in bacteria where one cell splits into two.

Resilient structures formed by bacteria in unfavorable conditions for survival.

A protist that can be parasitic and causes diseases such as malaria.

Free-floating, aquatic animal-like protists.

Multicellular organisms commonly known as seaweeds that contain photosynthetic pigments.

A type of algae that can be free-floating or attached to a substrate.

A kingdom that includes molds, yeasts, and mushrooms, known for being eukaryotic and heterotrophic.

Threadlike filaments that make up the mycelium of fungi.

A network of fungal hyphae found in soil or organic substrates.

A form of asexual reproduction where offspring pinch off from the parent cell.

Viruses consist of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid.

Viruses are acellular, meaning they are not made up of cells.

Viruses cannot reproduce without a host organism; they rely on living cells.

Viruses cause diseases; they are pathogens that can infect various organisms.

Viruses that specifically infect bacteria.

Organisms with a membrane-bound nucleus containing genetic material.

Organisms that cannot synthesize their own food and rely on environmental sources.

A vitamin essential for blood clotting, produced by E.coli in the gut.

Bacteria that benefit both themselves and their hosts, like in ruminants' guts.

Process where bacteria in ruminants convert cellulose into simple sugars.

Fungi that associate with plant roots to enhance nutrient absorption.

The equilibrium of nitrogen in an ecosystem, maintained by bacteria.

A structural polymer found in the cell walls of fungi.

Reproductive units of multicellular fungi used for asexual reproduction.

The ideal temperature for the growth of bread mould.

The factor measured in an experiment, such as mould growth.

The factor that is changed in an experiment, such as temperature.
